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

My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
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…
