I don't know to get a pairing code, so where do you get a pairing code?
Hey @BrandyRoss27_ ,
Thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!
Are you by chance a parent trying to connect to your child's canvas account? If so, it would be best to have your child login to their Canvas Account, have them click on the 'Account' button via their global navigation bar, click 'Settings', then on the right side of the screen click 'Pair with Observer'. From there, enter that code and you should be able to successfully pair your parent account with your student's account.
However, if for some reason that button doesn't exist, that likely means your child's school's canvas admin disabled students from generating pairing codes, however by default this is enabled. I will provide a link to a guide below with more detailed information, if it helps! https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-generate-a-pairing-code-for-an-observer-as-a-student/ta-p/418
Feel free to reach out with any additional questions or concerns, we're happy to help!All the best,Noah

I am setting up my courses for this year and I realized that when I opend the mastery-based gradebook, there is no color coding. When I open last years's course that had color-coding last time I opened it in the spring, it no longer has colors. The colors appear in the individual student view, but not in the all class view.
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
