How soon can we expect a revised guide once an update/change to a feature happens? Is there a way to be notified so we can update our classes?
Hi @rrudd,
For full production features, guides here in the community are usually updated on or within a couple days of the release. For features that are in early-access/beta/preview, there may be special groups here in the community where some info/guides are available, but there usually won't be official guides (there are a few exceptions though, like assignment enhancements).
I hope this helps!

This logic seems backward to me, like adding a new feature to a car but not putting it in the owner's manual until the next model year. Users need to know what's going to be changed before the change happens. For example, I just noticed an "Open summary" button in my courses' Discussions. I have no idea what it is or how it works, so I searched the Guides and Community and got only one relevant hit from a fellow Community member in the Forum section. From there, I saw links to other relevant media, but why did my search for "Open summary" (in quotation marks) lead to nothing else relevant? Using this Community is like searching for a needle in a haystack, which is all the more reason why the Guides need to be up-to-the-minute.

I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…

I want the student to then submit an assignment, or quiz/survey answering a few questions about the specific scenario. The assignment/Quiz is ust to…

This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
