Pretty simple-- want to shift a bunch of rows at one time... how is this done?
Hi @Fursty,
This really depends on what you mean by "shift". Let me try to explain what Canvas CAN do with html tables...
If you want to add a row or column (essentially what I'd call shifting all rows/columns down/right), Canvas can do that. You'd put your cursor in the first cell you want to shift, then use the icons at the bottom of the table. In this example, my cursor was in r2c1 and I clicked the insert row above button...
Now if you want to only affect certain rows or columns, you can highlight the cells you want to move by click+drag, then use cut (cmd/ctrl+x) then move the cursor to the upper-left cell you want those cells to start in again and paste (ctrl/cmd+v). In this example, I highlighted the cells shown, then pasted them with my cursor in r3c2. This essentially shifted the highlighted cells one column to the right. With this tactic, you do need to have enough empty space for the content to be pasted, otherwise it would overwrite existing content
I hope this info helps!

If seems that you are referring to tables when using the Rich Content Editor (RCE) in Canvas. Along with everything said by @chriscas, you can refer to How do I insert a table using the Rich Content Editor? - Instructure Community - 618220 for some general information about tables in the RCE.
When using tables, I recommend making sure that you follow accessibility standards.
Let us know if you need anything else.

Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
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…
