I'm writing an external tool to add to the User Navigation menu. The menu (Home, Notifications, Files, Settings, ...) seems to go away as soon as the custom tool link is clicked. Is there a setting/tool config to make the menu stay?

Hi @hagimotk ,
I am going through having a look at some of the early days in the Canvas Developers group, and checking in to see if older enquiries have been answered. I also noticed there hasn’t been any discussion on this question.
I am wondering, were you ever able to resolve this? I am hoping I can assume that it is well and truly resolved by now, but if not, please let us know and we can certainly have another look. Alternatively, if have some insights you may be able to share for others that would be awesome too!
I will mark this as assumed answered for the time being, however, by all means please let us know if you still have an outstanding question and we will take a peek!
Cheers,Stuart

How can one track Canvas Media use without having the reports available from Canvas Studio? Checking API endpoints and the Data 2 schema, there do not seem to be dedicated Canvas Media endpoints. Am I missing some? A method I've considered is using the body field of the wiki_pages table, as this contains the html code of…
Hello, I'm trying to utilize an API call to pull completed certificates and was hoping to download and store the certs as a backup. I can successfully run the API call but it will not allow me to view the certificate unless I access the URL while signed into an account where it's "my" cert. Is there a permissions setting…
