New Quizzes created on a desktop do not have the option to edit the "Description" under assignment details. "Description" doesn't even appear to students when accessed from a desktop, only when accessed from the mobile app.
Hi @JamesKCOS,
You are correct that web Canvas no longer has the description field for New Quizzes. I can't exactly pinpoint when this changed, but I think it's likely intended behavior as that field does not appear in any of the New Quizzes guides either. Instead of using the description field in the assignment area, you can utilize the Instructions field in the Build area of the quiz. It's likely that the Canvas apps will catch up with this eventually as well, as they do usually lag behind web Canvas a bit.
I hope this helps a bit!

Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
