I know that there is a little blue bubble that identifies someone has shared content with me, but how do I set my notifications so that I get an email alerting me to it?
Hi @PatriciaDelaet ...
Unfortunately, I'm not finding anything in official Canvas documentation where you can set an e-mail notification for content that is shared with you. Just as an example, I looked at this Guide: How do I send a page to another instructor? - Instructure Community - 1079. At the bottom of this Guide, there is a section on "View Shared Content". But, there's nothing about getting e-mail notifications. Also, I looked at How do I manage content shared to me from other us... - Instructure Community - 913, and there's nothing that I can find there, either. It seems that it's all within the Canvas interface at this time.
You could suggest this as a new feature to add to Canvas, though. Just know that the entire idea process is on hold at the moment because the Community site is undergoing some changes. You can read more about that at these links:
Also, here are the links you'll need for how to create an idea here in the Community:
I hope these links will be helpful for you. Good luck!!!

We have a campus reporting that notes/comments entered directly in PowerTeacher Pro are being removed after a Canvas-to-PowerSchool grade sync runs.

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…
