Hi,
I thought I found somewhere a reference to the time releases are applied to PROD on their release dates. Also, how much downtime is there in the system during a release in PROD? I can't seem to find this information now.
Thanks,Justin
Hi @Justin_Reynolds,
You can find your maintenance window time on the root account -> settings page right under the default time zone. As far as I know though, that info applies to things like database maintenance, not the regular releases/deploys. I don't believe I've ever seen an official time window or anything for releases/deploys (but maybe I have just missed it). It seems like releases usually happen pretty early on Saturdays for us (before 8am), though deploys are usually in the afternoons (maybe between 2pm and 5pm). The What are the release schedules for beta, productio... - Instructure Community - 242411 page does list the days when things should happen, but I don't see any reference to times at all (maybe this is what you recall seeing though?).

Has anyone had a chance to try this with a Canvas quiz? Seems it may have a similar effect as ChatGPT Atlas able to provide all the answers to an open Quiz. https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/05/microsoft_adds_a_sidepane_for/
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." It would be a…
