Once a Collaboration Group is created using Google Docs, how do students use it? How is the resulting document saved in Canvas as a Word document?
Hi @CaroleFrancis! If you're wondering how students can use the Collaborations group they created, they can simply click the name of the collaboration and a new tab will appear, prompting them to log in to google docs. Once they log in, they can immediately start editing the document. This article explains it very thoroughly:How do I view Collaborations as a student? To save the resulting document in Canvas as a Word file, students can share, or download and save it as a .docx file using Google Docs, then re-upload it by submitting it to the appropriate assignment or quiz. This video at around the 3:40 timestamp shows how to do this using the Microsoft Office option in Collaborations, and the same steps apply when using Google Docs. They can also upload the downloaded file to a specific group by going to the files page and uploading it. This article helped me figure it out: How do I upload a file to a group? Please note that instructors have access to all collaboration groups and can open the associated Google Docs links.I hope this helps! -Thea

Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
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…
