What are some best practices or solutions for promoting students from one class or course to the next while maintaining their records seamlessly, so we avoid having to upload their names and details repeatedly?
Hi @AbdulKhadar,
I'm not quite sure if you're a teacher or administrator, or what level school/institution you may be at, but in my opinion the kind of system you're describing here is what is normally referred to as a student information system (SIS). This is the system where user information, class information, enrollments, grades, etc are stored and things like a transcript would be generated from. There is usually a sync between Canvas and an SIS at most schools, sometimes just transferring user and class info from the SIS to Canvas, sometimes also syncing grade info back from Canvas to the SIS.
This is just a very short overview, but I hope this gets you pointed in the right direction. There are many SIS vendors to choose from if your school/institution doesn't currently use one, so you'll likely be able to find a few that would meet your needs.

I'm an Admin in Canvas, and I'd like to know if it's possible to change the order of items in the Account menu. Now, we have: -ePortfolio (Legacy) -Shared Items -Portfolio We'd like to have Portfolio above ePortfolio (Legacy), to encourage people to use that, but I can't find a way to do it.
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
As "Ideas" section is gone (at least for now), I'm posting a feature request here. Mobile app shows a list of students who have submitted or not submitted a quiz/assignment. Would be good to have this in web version as well as way to export csv.
I’m a student exploring a small personal project related to Canvas grade notifications and student experience, and I wanted to ask about what is technically and policy-wise feasible within Canvas. Many students receive email notifications like “A new grade has been posted,” but then need to log into Canvas to actually see…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
