I've seen that using Canvas Commons as a template enables one to make a change in Commons and push it to a live course. Is it possible to do this any other way besides using Commons?
Hi @kewing,
To start off, I wouldn't really say that changes can be pushed directly to courses through commons. When content in commons is updated, teachers using that content would see a notification that the content has been updated when they go back in commons, and prompted to update their course to the new version. In all likelihood, I think most courses wouldn't get their content updated using this method.
If you want to centrally control content and be able to push an updated to courses with a single button type of interface, I think Blueprint Courses would likely be the solution for you. There is a nice Blueprint Courses Overview video that covers the basics of what Blueprint Courses are and how to set up and use them. If this seems like a fir for you, and you need more detailed info, here are some guides that may be helpful:
I hope his info helps!

A and B are each actually areas of the workshop with a different emphasis. Having the students split between areas makes equipment access easier. How do I allow students to choose between working in area A for the first half of the term, then area B for the second half of the term, or the opposite, while using Course…
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…
