Exporting announcements with a picture. Will this ever be addressed by Instructure??? I teach 4 classes and have to copy over 40 some announcements to each class. The college wants the picture included.
Can you clarify how you are exporting announcements?
I just made an announcement with an image, and copied it to another course (image below), and the announcement was copied, with the image included.

There are three ways to export and import/copy an announcement:
I am not sure what you mean by: "Exporting announcements with a picture. Will this ever be addressed by Instructure??? The college wants the picture included."
Can you please provide us with more information?
P.S. You might want to consider reaching out to your college's Canvas team because it seems like there might be specific expectations that we in the Canvas Community know about.

I would like to export my announcements from an old class to a new class and include my Profile picture and name. I only export announcements which are about 25 or more a class, teaching 4 classes and I have to copy and paste as they want our Profile picture to show in the Announcements.

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?
