How may an instructor access an Announcement's history?
Hello @MR8 ...
If you are an instructor, and you haven't deleted any of your announcements, you should be able to click on the "Announcements" link on the left-hand course navigation menu to access any announcements you have created in your course. If you had been teaching course in past semesters, you should be able to go to those courses (probably via your "Courses" >> "All Courses" screen) to view those past announcements.
What are Announcements?
Does this help to answer your question? Please let us know here in the Community...thanks!
@MR8 ,
In addition to the information provided to you by @Chris_Hofer , I also wanted to add on that you are able to view recently deleted announcements, as well. All you would have to do is open the courses URL, and after the course ID, add /undelete. A page should then pop up with all the recently deleted course items, and you'll be able to view the deleted announcements there as well.
I hope this helps, too!Noah

If you are looking for the history of a specific announcement if changes were made, that is not something that exists unless:
If those three conditions have been met, the Canvas admin would need to:
Circling back, the only type of native Canvas content (that I am aware of) that allows either a teacher or an admin to see its history are pages and how to do that is documented in the How do I view the history of a page in a course? - Instructure Community - 900 guide.
Is there anything else related to announcement history that we can help you with?

A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
If I access to the student card I can see the recent messages, but I would like to see all the messages, not only the recent. Thank you
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.…
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…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
