You probably clicked a link to a page, assignment or module that has not been published yet.

If you think you should have access to it now, then contact your instructor, but they may have received an email about it already.

Last term I posted a link to the "Final Exam" in the beginning of the term, but I didn't publish it until closer to the end, and got a few automated emails about students trying to access it and that it was locked.

Hi @FaldielaHansen,

One other possibility is that your instructor might have provided you with a link to content that exists in another course that you do not have access to.

You can tell this by:

looking at the link of where you currently are in Canvas and see the number that appears after "courses" (it would look something like: .instructure.com/courses/COURSE_NUMBER" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://.instructure.com/courses/COURSE_NUMBER)
looking at the link for where you are trying to go
if the course numbers are different, what I described is what is happening

File Name as a part of submission requirements
Could there be a feature added (or maybe there is something out there already) to limit not just the file EXTENSION but the file NAME as well? For example, instead of just requiring "XLSX" extension for JoeSmith-Assignment1.XLSX, we could require "*Assignment1.XLSX" for the filename. This would ensure that students submit…
Why can't we add a rubric to an essay question in Quizzes?
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
Dropped Scores
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
Batch edit assignment due dates by section
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Change Group Assignments to NOT save if no groups are selected
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
