Pretty simple-- want to shift a bunch of rows at one time... how is this done?
Hi @Fursty,
This really depends on what you mean by "shift". Let me try to explain what Canvas CAN do with html tables...
If you want to add a row or column (essentially what I'd call shifting all rows/columns down/right), Canvas can do that. You'd put your cursor in the first cell you want to shift, then use the icons at the bottom of the table. In this example, my cursor was in r2c1 and I clicked the insert row above button...
Now if you want to only affect certain rows or columns, you can highlight the cells you want to move by click+drag, then use cut (cmd/ctrl+x) then move the cursor to the upper-left cell you want those cells to start in again and paste (ctrl/cmd+v). In this example, I highlighted the cells shown, then pasted them with my cursor in r3c2. This essentially shifted the highlighted cells one column to the right. With this tactic, you do need to have enough empty space for the content to be pasted, otherwise it would overwrite existing content
I hope this info helps!

If seems that you are referring to tables when using the Rich Content Editor (RCE) in Canvas. Along with everything said by @chriscas, you can refer to How do I insert a table using the Rich Content Editor? - Instructure Community - 618220 for some general information about tables in the RCE.
When using tables, I recommend making sure that you follow accessibility standards.
Let us know if you need anything else.

I'm an Admin in Canvas, and I'd like to know if it's possible to change the order of items in the Account menu. Now, we have: -ePortfolio (Legacy) -Shared Items -Portfolio We'd like to have Portfolio above ePortfolio (Legacy), to encourage people to use that, but I can't find a way to do it.
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
As "Ideas" section is gone (at least for now), I'm posting a feature request here. Mobile app shows a list of students who have submitted or not submitted a quiz/assignment. Would be good to have this in web version as well as way to export csv.
I’m a student exploring a small personal project related to Canvas grade notifications and student experience, and I wanted to ask about what is technically and policy-wise feasible within Canvas. Many students receive email notifications like “A new grade has been posted,” but then need to log into Canvas to actually see…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
