Hi everyone,

I had recently just created a new canvas account and would like to access the theme editor. However, I do not see it available anywhere/

Hi @Tssz and @StevenLankford,

Are you administrators in the root Canvas account of a paid Canvas instance? I ask this specific question because the How do I create a theme for an account using the T... - Instructure Community - 242 does outline the scenarios where the theme editor would not be available... If you don't have an admin role in Canvas, the theme editor will not be available at all. If you are an admin only of a subaccount in Canvas, your root admin may not have enabled subaccounts to have different theming, and thus you won't see the editor.

I hope this info helps!

Hey @Tssz ,

In addition to the information provided to you by @chriscas , I also wanted to share some more information that could potentially be useful. If you recently created an account under the Canvas Free for Teachers instance, you do not have access to any account-level permissions, as you only receive access to course-level settings. Account-level permissions are required for accessing the theme editor. The only people that have access to the Admin side of the FFT instance are Instructure employees.

I hope that helps in some way, too.

Sherpath LTI Grade Passback – Assignment Point Values / Weighted Groups
Hi everyone, I’m working through a Sherpath/Evolve LTI 1.3 setup in Canvas and would appreciate some guidance from others who have configured grade passback. Sherpath’s guidance is that the point values need to be adjusted in the Sherpath link opened through the LTI so that the grades pass back to Canvas with the intended…
Is it possible to view the numerical grade entered in the "override" column in the teacher's gradebook view?
The fact that the teacher's gradebook view only displays the letter grade in the "override" column makes it difficult for the teacher to review grades, as the numerical grade entered cannot be determined in that view.
