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!

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?
