Is it possible to for anyone (student or instructor) to delete a comment on a grade? If so, is there a log on the backend showing that it was deleted?
Hi @RoyWelsh71820376,
Teachers do have the ability to both create and delete submission comments in Canvas, which students can only create them. Deleted comments are not visible or able to be restored form anywhere in the UI. The data may still exist in a back-end database for a period of time (or even forever), but it's not something people outside of admin roles would be able to access even if it exists.

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…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
