Hello. Has anyone ever wondered why we can't have percentages of grades next to the course cards on the dashboard? It's driving me crazy flipping back and fourth between courses!
Hello @m09011 - one lesser-known feature is the grades page which lists all courses you are taking and the current grade. Check it out in your Canvas:

As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
