The help article on importing Rubrics from spreadsheets was written in 2018 and appears to be out of date. In particular, the "import" button does not appear in the location described. Are there more up to date instructions on how to do this?
Hi @ralmond,
Can you give a link to the guide you're referring to? I have a feeling it may be a user post, and not actually an official guide, but it would be good to verify.
As far as I know, the original rubrics interface in Canvas did not have any official rubric importing ability. If your school/institution has Enhances Rubrics available, that improvement does add an import and you can find the instructions at How do I import rubric assessments using Enhanced Rubrics? - Instructure Community.
I hope this info helps!

Hi @ralmond …
I'm guessing that you were looking at James Jones' "Canvancement" (Canvas Enhancement) called Importing Rubrics from a Spreadsheet. I used this all the time in my previous job when I would build Canvas courses for our faculty. It adds an "Import Rubric" button to the "Rubrics" screen. It was a huge time saver for sure!
I do agree with @Chris that you may be using the newer Enhanced Rubrics interface, which may not work with James' script. In fact, I believe the format to import rubrics from a spreadsheet is different from what James originally created. You'll want to refer to the Guide that Chris linked to in his post.
I hope this will be of some help to you. Good luck!
There seems to be a change in my current rubric that it no longer shows different colours when marked via Speedgrader ie Red for Below Standard, Yellow for At Standard and Green for Above Standard. No it only shows Green across all Ratings. Is this able to be fixed?

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…
