I am an instructor looking to copy and paste announcements, but every time I do so it seams to replace my account with a "U". How do I change this so it shows I am the one posting?
Hello @MadeleineTrueba
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with copying announcements. Are you using your mouse to highlight all the text or even your keyboard to CTRL C or V to copy paste? Sometimes you can pick up extra HTML unknowingly depending on how your announcements are formatted or what all actually got highlighted. If you use your keyboard, try pasting it as CTRL SHFT V instead of just CTRL V (CMND V on Mac) and it will keep the formatting the same. This may help. Additionally, you can copy announcements from one course to another:

According to this Guide, How do I use the Announcements Index Page?, "A profile picture displaying the letter U in place of a user's profile picture indicates that an announcement was imported using a course copy, the Course Import Tool, or a blueprint course. Additionally, copied announcements do not include a posted date and time." I found this by looking at a past reply from @kona ... Solved: Announcement question u - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com).
Have you tried editing the announcement, but not actually making any edits on it, and then saving the announcement to see if the "U" in the avatar image changes to your own profile picture?
Keep us posted here in the Community...thanks!
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
As "Ideas" section is gone (at least for now), I'm posting a feature request here. Mobile app shows a list of students who have submitted or not submitted a quiz/assignment. Would be good to have this in web version as well as way to export csv.
I’m a student exploring a small personal project related to Canvas grade notifications and student experience, and I wanted to ask about what is technically and policy-wise feasible within Canvas. Many students receive email notifications like “A new grade has been posted,” but then need to log into Canvas to actually see…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
