This just started a few hours ago. When I try to assign something (discussion, assignment, etc), the assign box is greyed out. I have logged out and in. Nothing seems to be working.
Hi @LF11 ,
What is the end date setting on your course? The first thing that comes to mind when a setting is greyed out is that the end date for the course is passed, so the course has gone into "read only" mode where students can no longer interact with the course....

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…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic".
