Dear community,A student of mine made a lot of assignments before the summer holidays.After the summer holidays upon logging in he told me he lost a lot of the made content in those assignments and it was no longer visible.Is this possible? For example due to an update?Is there any way to view what he made last year? Maybe in a history tab from that period?Thanks in advance.Kind regards,Robin
Hi there, @RobinBoontje ...
I am assuming that the student was enrolled in the course with the "Teacher" role (or at least a role where he could edit course content)? If so, has he tried looking in the "Courses" >> "All Courses" screen to see if the course is listed there? That is where I would first look. If a student had been removed from the course for some reason, I'm not sure how far back log history may go to see if a Canvas admin might be able to identify the URL of the course the student had access to at one time. That was just a couple thoughts I had, and I'm not sure if any of it will help or not. My $0.02 ... for what it's worth.
Hi Robin, notwithstanding @Chris_Hofer 's advice, I would recommend talking to someone who has access to the User Account Details function which lists forensically every clickview and action. This includes every URL address and whether the action was a 'GET' or 'POST'.
Nothing really disappears from Canvas, but it is possible that the assignments were deleted - in which case the 'undelete' function (added after the end of the course ID would list these.
I always think its an omission that page history is not available for Syllabus and Assignments, but they may be findable through an API call.
Not sure if that helps.
Hi @RobinBoontje,
Were you able to get this resolved or are you still having a problem?
If you are still having a problem, I would recommend that you either (a) contact your school's Canvas team or (b) if available based on your school's Canvas license, reach out to Canvas Support directly by using the options available in the "Help" area of Canvas.

Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones.

Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
