I am in need of a copy of a paper submitted through Canvas LMS in a previous semseter. Are these submissions archived and can they be retreived?
Hi @swmcneill,
Whether submissions for old courses still exist and are accessible to you does somewhat depend on school/institution policy and how they have Canvas configured. If you see the course on your dashboard or in your All Course area, you should be able to go back to your assignments and find the submitted files there. If the course is no longer accessible to you, you may be able to look in the submissions folder in your user files area to see if the files exist there. If neither of those things work, your files may have been removed, but you could contact your school/institution Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) to verify that.
Please do come back and let us know if any of these methods were successful!

I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
Can Canvas please create the option to use a "total points" system such that both the gradebook and the student grades page can show accumulated total points, not as a fraction of total points earned/total points possible? This would be SO helpful for progress tracking in a self-paced course where I do not want 0s entered…
