Trying to update default email. The article suggested might be outdated as the instructions don't work.
Hi @AllenMoorhead,
Are you using the How do I change my default email address in my use... - Instructure Community - 410 guide? That should be current info, and even though it's the student guide, the info really applies to any Canvas user. If those steps do not work, it's possible your school/institution has locked down the ability to change default email for a number of reasons. The institution I work at, for example, does not allow changing the default email from the university assigned one to ensure 3rd party apps work as expected and to have the best security available for default notification emails. You could ask your local Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) about this if you'd like.
Hope this info helps!

We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I wonder if others have had this response, but I think it is troubling messaging for students that, no matter how well they may do on an assignment, they are given a signal that anything below a perfect score should be marked/denoted with a red color, as if those grades are poor, or even lesser. I think it is harmful for…
