Is there a way for assignment alerts from unpublished courses to get removed from the Coming Up list on the Canvas Dashboard? The instructor only wants to see alerts from published courses in the Coming Up list.
Is this possible?
Hi @irizarryl-4,
I don't think there is really a way to customize what's on the coming up list. On the student side, items from unpublished courses won't show, but on the teacher side I think it's different because the expectation is that the course will be published before whatever the assignment is will be due. I *think* but am not 100% sure, that if the assignments themselves are unpublished (not just the course) that they might not show up for teachers, but then the teacher will need to remember to go back and publish all of those for student, which can be a lot of work in large courses.
I hope this info helps!

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply! I can confirm that if you unpublish the assignment from the unpublished course it will not appear on the Coming Up list. I wish Canvas had some type of "off' switch for this since some courses have way too many assignments.
How can I delete complete calendars for courses already past? As a teacher I am not able to look at or update the calendar for my next course, but if I change to the student view it shows the calendar just fine. I assume this is because CANVAS selects only the first 10 calendars to show, and I am sure I am beyond that…
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…
