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.
The Non Credit side of our institution has users self enroll in their course, they want us to run a script daily that ends any new enrollments access after 30 days. I found this end point for user enrollment end time, but in my testing, the user still had access despite their enrollment being past the end date. Do the…
I am a Canvas administrator for a series of courses for my institution. I pull a weekly attendance report for students across all classes in our catalogue. This week, I am encountering an error message when attempting to access the roll call attendance report function ("We're sorry, but something went wrong"). Switching…
Hi everyone, We’ve recently received a couple of reports from faculty about a sudden influx of emails from Studio Support indicating that “automated captions are ready to view”, but for videos that are quite old and haven’t been updated recently. These faculty are reporting 5 or more of these emails today so far. In at…
My team is currently going through the different LTIs/APIs we have installed in our Canvas instance and making sure we have a full list of what permissions each one has, what information it gives/receives, etc. However, the list of LTIs/APIs is contradictory - the new Apps page has a Monitor tab which lists launches of…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
