Hi,
Would anyone know why the syllabus I need to edit is locked. I am editing from the blueprint course. I was able to log in and update prior, but it's now locked.
@AshleyThomas76058528 - A few things to check:
First, open the blueprint course and go to Blueprint Settings. Under the locked objects section, see whether the Syllabus is selected. If it is checked, uncheck it and save.
Second, if a recent blueprint sync was run, that sync may have re locked the Syllabus even if you edited it successfully before. Canvas will reapply blueprint locks each time a sync runs.
Third, if the Syllabus contains linked outcomes, standards, or institutional text managed at a higher level, those elements can also force the page into a locked state.
If you do not have permission to change blueprint lock settings, the fix usually requires the blueprint owner or admin to unlock the Syllabus and re sync.
All set? ~ Jeff

When you are creating a quiz and/or also reviewing a quiz in Canvas after the class has taken it, the questions aren't numbered so after you get past the first few questions, there is no way to even tell what number you are on. Can someone change that?
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
