A wish: being able to use a minus-function when inviting students for assignment in the case that it is for a class, but with the exception of for instance 2 students: For exampe: class2425_1, -Mildred, -Henry
Hello there, @ErnoMijland ...
I wasn't real sure what you were referring to when I first read through your posting. However, I'm taking an educated guess that you are asking about the "Assign To" options when editing an assignment in your course. It sounds like you would like to assign an assignment to everyone *except* certain students. Is this correct? If so, there is actually a separate area here in the Canvas Community website where you can submit your ideas that you'd like to see incorporated into Canvas. Fortunately, there has already been an idea submitted (way back in 2015) that has gotten lots of comments from Community members all around the globe. The status is currently "Open". Here's the link:

I'd encourage you to follow this idea so that you might have the chance of voting on it in the future.
Please know that the idea process is going through some changes right now, so you'll want to check out this blog posting: Turning Your Feedback into Better Prioritization a... - Instructure Community - 637959
And finally, there's a separate area to submit your ideas. (This area where you posted your question is more for asking questions about Canvas ... not as much for submitting your ideas). Here are Guides for you on how to submit a new idea (though you won't need to submit for your above idea...so as to avoid duplication of ideas):
I hope this will be of some help to you.
After the cyber attack, some of my embedded images aren't showing up in quizzes. It seems to just be one of my classes, in particular, and the others were fixed on Monday. Anybody know what 3 of my classes were fixed, but the fourth one (Geometry) won't show the images in the quizzes?
Hi everyone, I've got several pages and assignments where I use frames to embed videos and interactive resources. But whenever I go into editing, the formatting in some of them breaks down: the video size shrinks down, or I'm left with an empty blank space. I think I've narrowed down the cause of this issue: Some of these…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. 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…
