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 am having an issue where my gradebook will not sort the assignments in date order. It seems to only impact discussion board assignments, but I cannot see a rationale for why they will not group themselves with their counterparts. The only factor that is new is that I am using the new feature where I can set a different…
Hi everyone, Is there anyway I can download all discussion posts, similar to downloading assignments? Thank you. Zehra
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…
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!
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?
