Spell check is somehow disabled, how can I re-engage?
Check to make sure it is not due to a browser setting. Usually, when I have seen spell check while working in Canvas, it is the browser performing the check.
See if that fixes the issue first and report back if those are all turned on so we can look for another option.
Hi @Celeste-Walker,
Just to add a bit to @JeffCampbell's post... Canvas doesn't have any spell check by itself that I am aware of. All of the spell checking you see in Canvas actually comes form the browser or device operating system you're accessing Canvas from. SO there won't be any Canvas-specific fixes for this, it would be figuring out what setting may have changed in your browser or operating system and getting it reset back to normal.

The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
