My question is this, when starting a new term is there a way to hide previous blogs, quizzes, submissions from students without losing them and giving the kids a clean work space for the new tasks?
Hi @AaronHOWARD2,
I think the most common strategy, though not necessarily the only one, is to start off with new Canvas course shells each semester. You can import the content from previous semesters, but things like submissions will stay in the original term. This tends to keep things organized and helps prevent accidental modification/deletion of assignments or other things that may count as course records.

@AaronHOWARD2 Can you provide us a little more context for this question? Are you a K-12 instructor? Do your students utilize the same course space for multiple terms? Are enrollments for your course manually managed? Are you syncing your grades to an integrated application?
I just tried putting a student in two different sections in the same course (one for each term), assigning separate materials to each term, and then concluding one of the enrollments. The student was still able to see all of the Term 1 material in Term 2.
One option may be to not have Assignments, Pages, etc. open in the menu and to have students reach everything through Modules. You could then unpublish a module and have it act as an archive for the past term's materials.
Were you able to get this figured out or would you still like some help?

Hello! Loving the new stickers. I wonder: could we have X and Check Mark stickers in Canvas for shorter grading feedback? Thanks!
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…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
