What is the latest progress on incorporating the Rich Text Editor in messages or course emails?
Our institution primarily communicates via Canvas messages and email. We need more formatting options when sending messages to students.
@joella_robinson You are not the first user to make this suggestion, and it has been added to an identified theme ( Improve the inbox functionality to provide for more meaningful communication ) that will hopely be slated for development in Canvas sometime in the near future. If you have further suggestions for improvements, you may want to submit them to the Ideas forum (or contribute to previously submitted ideas) as this is where many of the ideas for improvements are gathered.
Canvas - this is truly ridiculous that you don't have this function in email. It is 2024. This is not a beta testing issue - it's pure laziness. You even have rich text in this chat forum! You have it in the announcements. It makes no sense at all why it is taking so long to add this. You should know that communicating with Gen Z requires the ability to be able to bullet, bold, italicize, use colors, change size etc. It is truly ridiculous that you have not added this.

Please give a better answer why you don't have this added yet. I would think this would be a simple add on that would take no time at all. It is 2024!!!!

If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
I have been asked to discover whether Canvas Catalog can accept eCheck payments. My thought is that since Catalog is configured to redirect to a payment form at our Payment Gateway, that this might be more a question of configuring an additional option into the Catalog and payment gateway settings. Has anyone done this?
One of the teachers has registered for Google Services in her Canvas account. However, she is unable to link the Google Assignment LTI as an external tool for assignment submissions. The error message is "account not linked" after clicking continue at this step: When I try to go into this teacher's course as an admin and…

Our current integration is: Banner → Ethos API → ILP → Canvas We would like to learn from other institutions that have already migrated to Workday…
The line between "skills" and "competencies" gets blurry fast, and "learning how to learn" means different things depending on who you ask. We're putting together an Educast 3000 podcast episode on all of it, and your questions will shape the conversation. Curious how to teach students to learn independently, what the…
