Hi @bbelroy ...
I'll just add to what @Gabriel33 wrote... you might want to check out the PDF comparison chart linked on Canvas Free-for-Teacher FAQ because there are some differences between a paid Canvas environment and a Free For Teacher account.
Hi @bbelroy ,
In addition to the information provided to you by @Chris_Hofer and @Gabriel33 , I wanted to add on. You are able to download your course content via your course settings by clicking on the 'Export Course Content' button on the right-hand side of the page.

When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point."
