How can I restore the Canvas template after it has been removed?
@LeslieMorris1
There are several ways one could interpret your question, which is why @Chris_Hofer asked for clarification.
If you have a course that was acting as a course template and the course was deleted from Canvas, then the How do I restore a deleted course in an account? lesson in the Canvas Admin Guide can help you restore the course itself.
If you have a course that was acting as a course template and the course is no longer acting as a template, you make sure that course is enabled as a course template and then select it as the course template for the account.
Someone might use the word "template" to refer to something else. Canvas has Course Templates, Blueprint Courses, and Canvas Commons that all act as forms of content distribution. That page, has links to resources for all three at the bottom. Those involve a native Canvas template solution.
People frequently mean words in ways other than the way Canvas uses them, so "template" to you may not mean a course template from Canvas. It might mean a template that you see within Canvas. Many schools utilize a third-party solution such as Cidi Labs DesignPLUS for templating.
Getting a better idea of the problem will help people provide a solution.
@LeslieMorris1 ...
Can you provide Community members with more information about your "template"? Instructure (the folks that make Canvas) doesn't provide a "template" right out-of-the-box, so this is probably something that someone at your school created to use as a template inside your course(s). Any additional details would be helpful...thanks!
I am setting up my courses for this year and I realized that when I opend the mastery-based gradebook, there is no color coding. When I open last years's course that had color-coding last time I opened it in the spring, it no longer has colors. The colors appear in the individual student view, but not in the all class view.
Hoping someone can explain for me. 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 have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
