Does anyone use an admin chrome extension or browser extension to check the history of SIS imports beyond the latest one? I used to have an extension called "Admin Tweaks," but it seems to be broken or not updated.
Hi @smathews,
I use the Chrome extension "Canvas LMS Mods (Basic)", made by @Code-with-Ski / @JamesSekcienski.
It is located at Canvas LMS Mods (Basic) - Chrome Web Store, with other information available at Creating a Chrome Extension to Use with Canvas LMS... - Instructure Community - 532935 and https://code-with-ski.github.io/Canvas-LMS_Mods-Website.
I have the extension configured so that it does not load automatically and it is set to "On Click".

I have not used the extension in question, but you can view the history of SIS imports by simply navigating to the SIS Imports page and then appending an "s" to the URL, i.e. "https://
What you get back is in JSON format, but if you have a JSON parser plugin for your browser, it's quite easy to review the previous SIS imports, and even to grab copies of logs and SIS import feed files...

I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
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…
