How do I change to grade book to only display one decimal place rather than two decimal places?
Hello @SabrinaBryant
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. By default, the gradebook will use two characters after the decimal point. The only way to really change this is to use the total override option and enter the simplified total points for the students. Here is the Canvas guide:

However, there have certainly been others who have asked for the same thing. It does appear to be in an open status and hopefully the option will be available in the near future. For now, you can use the default 2 point decimal display or use the total override column. Hopefully this helps.

This remains a problem. At the end of every quarter, I get at least 10 students emailing me about "I won't get into medical school if I have an A-, instead of an A. My grade is now 92.2%, could you just raise it to 93%? They do this for every possible decimal, even more than a whole number down. It's exasperating and leads to so much extra work because they won't take no for an answer. It's only a burden for this to be visible to them. Canvas should change their defaults. I've spoken to many colleagues who face the same problem.
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
Started testing the new Portfolio today. Our K-12 district is new to Canvas and never implemented a portfolio solution. I was testing the share as a studnet using the 'Anyone can view link' to an outside user = does not have a login ID for our instance of Canvas. As the outside user, I am able to open and read the…
