My course is published as of today. I'm trying to see my students. I see no People tab? Help.
Thanks
Hi @willamwatson1 ,Does your school pay for Canvas? Are you using the free for teacher version?
Either way, there are a couple ways to view the people in your course. The first way is locating the 'People' button located on your courses side-navigation bar. Another way is by going to your course settings > sections and by clicking on the name of the section and the list of people will appear.
The last way to view your users is by adding /users to the end of your course URL. For example, the URL would look like this: schoolname.instructure.com/courses/344/users. Replace schoolname with your school's name, or with the word canvas if you're using the free for teacher edition.
I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!

Hi @willamwatson1,
If you are not seeing a "People" link from the left-side course navigation, you may have clicked on the "three horizontal lines" icon (commonly referred to as a "hamburger" menu in web design) in the upper-left corner next to either the Canvas logo or your institution's logo.
The University of Minnesota has a "Canvas: Course Navigation Menu Show/Hide Toggle" support article at https://it.umn.edu/services-technologies/how-tos/canvas-course-navigation-menu-showhide that can help you out.

You could check in course Settings, under the Navigation tab, to see if People is activated. Activated items appear in the top list. If it's in the bottom list, you can drag it to the top. Don't for get to press Save at the bottom before leaving Navigation.
Hello, I am a member of the Canvas LMS user support staff at my institution. I am looking for advice on long-term data retention for completed courses. In Blackboard, there is an "Archive" feature that creates a single package containing the entire course content along with all student records, including grades and their…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
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…
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…
