Looking to archive, not delete, Catalog courses that have already happened and have passed. We'd like to keep the information for reference but don't need to clog up the list of programs/courses we have. Is this doable?
Hello @HannahDan - good question. Late last year, Instructure rolled out a new offering for all Canvas LMS customers called Canvas Archiving powered by K16 Solutions. Canvas Archiving allows institutions to back up their data, control user access, and maintain a cleaner version of their Canvas instance. You can push individual, archived course content to the LMS and retrieve student data and submissions as needed.
Many Canvas customers are already using this solution. Below are a couple of recent case studies and an attached infographic on this offering.
I hope that helps.

@HannahDan I heard K16 had issues with retrieving courses that have been archived. When you speak with them please make sure there is a solution. Since I don't want you to be stuck.
Hi @HannahDan - just to be clear, there are absolutely no complications with recovering an archived course. The K16 team would be happy to spin up a sandbox for you to test anytime, and we can get you in touch with other Canvas Archiving customers if you would like.

Because Catalog only supports a single payment for an entire purchase, I want the entire transaction to happen in Stripe so that our learners can pay over an arbitrary number of months to Stripe and each payment is reported to Canvas. My understanding is this would require special coding and API/webhooks. Has anyone done…
We have a training that people can take which is set as a canvas course. But before they take the training, we want them to have the prerequisite of taking a different course A in catalog. I don't want to set up a program because they may not want to take the training if they took course A and decided that training isn't…
Currently, the listings filters only allow filtering by Listing Creation Date. Is there a way to filter by course's start or end dates instead? In our case, listings are created at various times, but we track revenue and enrollment by academic term/semester (which, I can specify using date ranges on course dates), not by…
We have had several failed enrolments caused (on most occasions) by system outages. Unfortunately we only find out because the learner complains - although this prompts a search for others which we can be proactive for. Reporting is needed to identify these learners who have commenced an order but have failed to enrol. We…
