Is there a way for assignment alerts from unpublished courses to get removed from the Coming Up list on the Canvas Dashboard? The instructor only wants to see alerts from published courses in the Coming Up list.
Is this possible?
Hi @irizarryl-4,
I don't think there is really a way to customize what's on the coming up list. On the student side, items from unpublished courses won't show, but on the teacher side I think it's different because the expectation is that the course will be published before whatever the assignment is will be due. I *think* but am not 100% sure, that if the assignments themselves are unpublished (not just the course) that they might not show up for teachers, but then the teacher will need to remember to go back and publish all of those for student, which can be a lot of work in large courses.
I hope this info helps!

I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
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…
