With the introduction of tags, would we be able to potentially update the assign-to function to be able to exclude a tag (or individual students)?

This is a great question. I wanted to reply to acknowledge that I saw this and will be sharing with the greater team. Stay tuned for more info. Thanks for the feedback!
Hi @tle1!
Great question! While it's not on our roadmap currently this request has been coming up more frequently. We've shared this feedback also with the team that works on the Assign To component overall.
This feature would be extremely helpful! Without it, differentiation tags can easily be used to assign something extra to a student with an accommodation, but it's not easy to assign something different. For example, if the student needs a shortened assignment, I could give them the "shortened assignment" differentiation tag, make a new version of the assignment with shortened expectations, and assign it to that tag. But the final step would be to exclude the tag from the original longer assignment.
Thanks all! I've made sure that this idea is logged in the backlog for discussion and prioritization.

I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
Why is there the setting "Lock this setting for sub-accounts and courses" if this can't be opted out at the course level? There should be an opt-out at the course level and we should also be able to have tags available and disabled by default. This is something that courses should be able to opt-into, not forced to opt-out…
Hi all, Will differentiation tags be visible in the Canvas attendance tool like sections are? Thanks! Charlotte
I previously created a set of differentiation tags for a group of classes using SIS csv file upload. These tags appeared in the classes as expected. I recently reversed action by changing the status for several of these classes so the csv file uploaded is essentially the same, but the status was changed from accepted to…
I discovered a problem when using a csv to create differentiation tags in a number of classes. After uploading the file, I noticed a typo in one of the tag_id. In my search to figure out how to change the unique identifier, I discovered a few potential bugs or enhancements needed: 1. I tried to use the change the tag_id…
