As you beta test the Portfolio EAP, please use this space to note any bugs/features that aren't working as intended. If you can share screencasts or links to the behavior, that may be helpful.
Thank you Dalma, I will test as much as possible during this period.But for now I can't create Evaluation Portfolio, the "select course" will not load and just giving me an error message.
When trying to see a Portfolio in student view, I get this error after selecting Portfolio EAP from the Canvas main navigation. Maybe because I'm in student view instead of having a separate student account?
{"statusCode":500,"message":"Internal server error"}
I don't know if this issue is on our Canvas Beta or not, but when we try to add a new evaluation portfolio, I get the error message: "Unable to get the available courses. Please try again later." It happened yesterday and today. Let me know if this is something we need to address on our end.
I have posted several comments in my User Experience post, but here are a few others:
When creating an evaluation portfolio, it looks like it is loading in all of my course options as a teacher. However, I also have admin access. It doesn't look like I have access to all courses that my admin access provides, but I just found that it appears to be showing all courses I am enrolled in rather than just courses where I am a teacher. I ended up creating an evaluation portfolio for a course where I didn't realize that I was just enrolled as a student. This seems like unexpected behavior, but I suppose my admin access allowed the course to show and then create the evaluation portfolio. I'm now curious if a user is just a teacher, but also enrolled as a student in another course if they see courses where they are only a student too and can also create an evaluation portfolio for that course.
As a side note, it would be helpful if the course cards also indicated our role within the course if we are enrolled within it or a note that you aren't enrolled in the course (if is showing based just on admin access).
The Portfolio icon on the global navigation bar in our environment has an accessibility contrast issue. It looks like it works well for the default theme, but doesn't adapt for customized themes like the native global navigation icons.

Hi @Dalma_Schnell, we are running into an issue with the Portfolio where we are not able to see the applet load. Please see screenshot for error message.
I might also point out that two of our account admins can load the applet whilst two other account admins cannot, myself being one of them and see the attached error.
Thanks!
Hi @Dalma_Schnell , I was just looking at a couple evaluation portfolios that I published on August 7, 2025 and found that an extra student had been added to the list. What's even more strange, is this user doesn't exist in our instance of Canvas. Based on a Google search, they may be an Canvas administrator at another institution so I'm curious how they got there. I don't want to call them out publicly, so is there someone we could talk to to troubleshoot this?
