How can I bulk enable blueprints and then link them to existing sections?
To set a course as a blueprint: Update a Course
PUT /api/v1/courses/:id
Parameter - course[blueprint] set to true.
This part of the API docs should helps with linking to existing sections, given you have the section IDs: Update Associated Courses
PUT /api/v1/courses/:course_id/blueprint_templates/:template_id/update_associations
Hope this helps!

Summary:The Learning Mastery Gradebook allows drag-and-drop reordering of outcome columns, and this triggers a call to /api/v1/courses/:course_id/assign_outcome_order. The API returns 204 No Content (success), but the column order does not persist after page refresh. Steps to Reproduce: Open Learning Mastery Gradebook for…
I'm building a tool for my institution that imports grades from another LTI tool into Canvas so instructors can automate late assignment policies not otherwise supported by Canvas. I'm trying to use the LTIv1.3 ID which is readily available on the LTI-side as a link to the student record on Canvas, but I can't find the ID…
