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.

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…
I have been asked to discover whether Canvas Catalog can accept eCheck payments. My thought is that since Catalog is configured to redirect to a payment form at our Payment Gateway, that this might be more a question of configuring an additional option into the Catalog and payment gateway settings. Has anyone done this?
One of the teachers has registered for Google Services in her Canvas account. However, she is unable to link the Google Assignment LTI as an external tool for assignment submissions. The error message is "account not linked" after clicking continue at this step: When I try to go into this teacher's course as an admin and…

The line between "skills" and "competencies" gets blurry fast, and "learning how to learn" means different things depending on who you ask. We're putting together an Educast 3000 podcast episode on all of it, and your questions will shape the conversation. Curious how to teach students to learn independently, what the…
