I am creating a rubric for a faculty member, but as you can see on the attached image the lines for each point value don't line up. Is there anyway to move the lines so they all match up (i.e. 15pt value criteria box matches throughout the entire rubric?
Hello ac8ga and welcome to the Canvas Community! There is currently no way to make the columns in rubrics align regardless of the amount typed into the rubric itself. However, there is an idea currently open for vote to which you might consider lending your support. The response by @James in this idea also has some helpful information.

I may have some good news for you. This past weekend, Instructure released a bunch of new updates to Canvas. One of them centers around the first phase of redesigning rubrics. Check out this section of the Canvas Release Notes: Canvas Release Notes (2024-07-20) - Instructure Community - 606797 (canvaslms.com).
Also, if the rubrics redesign option is enabled, when I built a rubric that had different text in all the cells, the columns did line up...even if the amount of text was different. I did not test this in the student view, but I did take a screenshot from the instructor view which you might find interesting:
You'll also notice there is a drop-down list at the top left corner which currently says "Traditional". Other viewing options in this list include "Horizontal" and "Vertical"...which are detailed in the link I provided.
You might want to talk with your school's Canvas administrator about enabling this Feature Option in your Canvas environment.
I hope this will help in some way.
The link on this doesn't seem to work. What happened to the request for this feature?
I concur with theresa_jarvis. The link does not work at the moment, and I hope this future is integrated.
I happened to align my rubric's view in the way I wanted in the past. I was trying to remember the process. So, at least, there was a workaround solution.
After a bit of investigation, it appears to me that the aligned view is available only in the grade book view, and the editable rubric on the rubric management page is not aligned. So, likes the future is not integrated.
At the end of the day, the grade book view is more important for my use and students' view. Having this aligned at least there is something helpful. It would be more meaningful if it has the same view on the design page as well for editing and having a correct preview.
Good luck with your rubrics!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
