We are encouraging instructors to use the Missing Submission policy and setting zeros as the automatic grade. Why do some assignments that are not due yet have zeros filled in as a default? Is it due to mismanagement of due dates or is this a bug?

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.…
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…
