How can I highlight from the computer? I can't highlight my readings to study
@Bel2 ...
Are you wanting to highlight some text that your instructor has given you to read for the course? What form is the text in? Is it a Word document? A PDF file? Text within a content page of Canvas? In general, Canvas does not have any tools that allow you to highlight text that you are reading. If the text was within a content page of your course, you could select all the text, paste it into a Word document, and then use the highlight tool as needed. Even better would be if your instructor provided a copy of the text for you to download so that you could do highlighting on your own? Sometimes, instructors will use third-party external tools (these are called LTIs in Canvas) from places like book publishers. I don't know the capabilities of those third-party applications and whether or not they offer any highlighting tools. That would be a question for the publishers of those tools and not Canvas.
I hope I've been able to provide some ideas of how you might go about highlighting text. Check with your instructor to see if he/she has any other suggestions...or would be willing to provide electronic files of the material for you and your students. You can use this Guide to contact your instructor: How do I get help with Canvas as a student?
Good luck!

We have enabled the automatic migration of Classic to New Quizzes. When we import QTI files, though, they always fail to load as New Quizzes. If we disabled New Quiz Migration, it works. Why does it only work for Classic Quizzes? Are there any guaranteed tools that will generate QTI files that will import correctly as New…
Is it possible to change the system-wide notification defaults for a hosted Canvas instance? Since I can't find a way to do it, nor any reference to doing it, I'm assuming not but wanted to make sure before I give that as an answer.
Hi everyone, I had a teacher reach out with an odd (and concerning) LockDown Browser issue and wanted to see if others have experienced something similar. A student was taking a quiz using Respondus LockDown Browser on a Chromebook 300e Yoga G4 (8GB), a 2‑in‑1 device that can flip into tablet mode. During the active quiz,…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
