From the Inbox - I do not see a way to include an accessible link.
For example - clicking on the word
YouTube(which contains the link) versus
https://www.youtube.com/
Hi @phanks0002 …
Unfortunately, the box to compose a message within the Canvas Inbox is a simple text editor and does not include the same kind of text formatting tools that you find in other areas of the Canvas LMS (specifically the Rich Content Editor … a.k.a. RCE) such as Pages, Discussions, Assignments, and Quizzes. So, you cannot highlight words like YouTube (like I just did here) and make it a link like you are hoping. You'll need to include the URL in your message.
I know that having a RCE in the Canvas Inbox has been a very popular Feature Request for several years, so I'd encourage you to visit the https://community.instructure.com/en/categories/canvas-collaborative-roadmap and click on the "Share a Contribution" link to submit your idea. And, while you're at it, you can check out the tabs for COMING SOON, ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT, and UNDER CONSIDERATION.
I know this isn't the answer you were hoping to get, but I do hope it helps to know how things currently work and how to submit your idea for consideration.

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…
