Using the new portfolio function: Why do I get "Course assignment hidden for public share"..? The portfolio is published?
Thanks for that explanation. They got back to me right away with this information:
Our engineers are aware of this current limitation with showcase portfolios, and they are already working to release an improvement in a future update of the Portfolio tool. In the meantime, for an assignment to be shared publicly, the student needs to attach it to a Project, Extracurricular Activity, or Professional Experience. Our recommendation is to create a Project and add the course assignment as evidence within that project.
I am also curious about this. If I ask students to create a showcase portfolio for my class, it seems that sharing it via a link would be the best way to share it with me so that I could click on things within the portfolio. However, I can't click on the assignments they've added from my class. Why would a showcase portfolio be useful if the people students share the portfolio with can't access what's inside it?
We noticed this behavior as well and have reported it to the product team, but haven't gotten word of any change. This is a major blocker for our users, and is counter intuitive. Thanks for raising it here again!
Are there any updates on this issue? We have instructors who are interested in using Showcase Portfolio not Evaluation Portfolio as it seemed to be more similar to their experience with Portfolium. The fact that they cannot view student course assignments that are to be uploaded to the Portfolio as part of the assessment process is a big problem!
also would like an update on this
came to find the answer as well. A link is not useful if no one can see the evidence they share.
Is Canvas going to answer this question? My students are submitting showcase portfolios and I can't see the documents that they are uploading.
Hi @Barbara_Kehr6119,
The community forums here are mostly for peer (other Canvas users) to peer help. While there are some Instructure employees who post blogs, release notes, etc, the forums usually aren't a place to get a direct answer from Instructure. If you need a definitive answer, especially since nobody has responded to this question in a few months months, I'd suggest hat you contact Canvas support if that is an option at your school/institution.

We have a campus reporting that notes/comments entered directly in PowerTeacher Pro are being removed after a Canvas-to-PowerSchool grade sync runs. Based on the Instructure FAQ, we understand that only the following fields are transmitted during a sync: Assignment Description Assignment Group Association/Category…
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…
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…
