Changing course settings as Admin

Hello fellow Canvas-ers,

I'm an Account Admin at our institution and for some reason, I can no longer change and save Course Settings.

I often update terms or file storage size in current and old courses, but if I change them now, I can't save the change.

If this an update that I'm not aware of and I'm missing the way to now do this?

Thanks in advance and any assistance.

Thanks for the responses - I got to the bottom of it.

There was something wrong with a CSS file in our theme that was preventing the button appearing (weird that this is a thing that can be removed).

CSS file repaired and all is right with the world again.

I recommend contacting Canvas Support. Have you also tried using a different browser to see if the issue can be replicated?

Could "Timeline Visualization" be the Key to Improving the Student Calendar?
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
Better Submit Button UI to prevent accidental Submits Message
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
