Hi community!
We would like to know if it’s possible to configure a course so that it does not automatically appear on the user dashboard when it is created.

Hi @jdurancal -- can you tell us a little more about the scenario that you have that you want the course to not be visible on the dashboard but still accessible?
Our district uses a combination of Terms (which adds the start/end dates) and having course UnPublished by default. After that the teachers then have control of Publishing the course when they are ready for students to view, and if they want to allow students to see their courses prior to the start date, they can change the course Participation from "Term" (which uses the Term dates) to Course (where the teacher can manually add an earlier start date, and needs to enter an end date as well).
There are often different case scenarios at different districts or institutions, so it's always interesting to learn about those, and also interesting to see how different districts manage their LMS.

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…
We have recently encountered an issue where two students were unable to see the "Take the Quiz" button. These students were taking different exams for different courses within our Testing Center.
