How do I set the assignment Submission Type to default to No Submission instead of Online?
Hello @JoshuaEggenberg - my experience is that when I create a new assignment, Canvas recalls the last assignment I created for that course and presents that submission type. I see this within the course I am working on but the behavior does not transfer from course A to B, for example. That said, once I create an assignment using 'the 'No Submission' submission type in the next course I am working on, then that is the new default for that course.
Are you seeing this as well?
From the guide: Assignment settings are persistent; they default to the options you used when creating or editing the previous assignment in the course. Based on prior assignments, one or more of these options may already be selected for you.

Thank you for trying! 😉

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.…
Previously on the built-in rubrics, vertical view, the rubric items were collapsed. You could expand them to see details of each point value. Now they are expanded by default and I see no way to collapse them. When a teacher is grading 20 of the same assignment, he or she knows what each point value entails. By having them…
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.
Could you please clarify about the URL structure for the new Canvas Portfolio feature after the retirement of the ePortfolios on June 30, 2026?
