If you are not seeing this on your screen, you will want to contact Canvas support to see if they can help figure out why you wouldn't be seeing this.

I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
Started testing the new Portfolio today. Our K-12 district is new to Canvas and never implemented a portfolio solution. I was testing the share as a studnet using the 'Anyone can view link' to an outside user = does not have a login ID for our instance of Canvas. As the outside user, I am able to open and read the…
