Someone changed a Canvas Theme in a subaccount, causing several CSS issues. Is there a way to determine who made the change?
Hi @RobinKouvaras,
I'm afraid that there is no log or audit trail of who made most administrative changes on the system.
I agree with @mzimmerman that there's really no audit trail in Canvas for this kind of thing. However, if you have a small number of administrators or a suspicion about who made the change, you could check the page views for each of those users to see if any of them visited the theme area ({canvas_url}/accounts/{id_number}/brand_configs) around when you suspect the change was made. There is little reason to go to that area unless a change is being made, so I suspect you'd be able to track down who did it with this method, unless you have a lot of admins and it would be too much time to search each one.

If I access to the student card I can see the recent messages, but I would like to see all the messages, not only the recent. Thank you
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.…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
