As of this morning, we are seeing "credentials" repeated 5 times on every course navigation menu. We are seeing this only in our production environment. It does not exist in test or beta. What changed???
I don't see it in my instance.
Did you ask your local Canvas Support if they are aware of it? In my institution a similar thing happened a few months ago (with a different navigation button being duplicated), and it was an internal issue.
Thanks for responding so quickly -- We submitted a ticket and let our representative know. This is the first time we've seen anything like this. Thanks again!
This affected our institution also. I've heard that this is an artifact from a Badges to Credentials migration. I've got a support case on it (12303533) which was rolled into a larger case, telling me that we're not alone in it. If you check your institution apps you'll see a bunch of new externals added called "Badgr at badgr.com: Badgr in Canvas LMS". I'm guessing the Dev Key necessary to power these is inherited. I didn't remove the apps, but I did turn off all of their placements, and am currently awaiting Instructure guidance to complete this...
We're also seeing the same -- each one says Created: May 14, 2025 when I click through, so if you're seeing similar it's probably an error with an automated process?
I found this article in the Credentials product blog:
https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/The-Product-Blog/Updated-Advancing-Canvas-Credentials-The-Path-from-LTI-1-1-to/ba-p/641217
Long story short- updates rolling out on May 12 and expected through May 23. However, since we aren't using this product and had the Badges course nav link hidden, we really need Credentials hidden. (I do realize that instructors can manually make it not visible, but we're going to deal with unhappy users.)
Same here. I've sent a help desk ticket in. I suggest you send one as well so they are made aware of the issue or know to update us on why it is listed multiple times and the value-add of this (???)
When viewing a student submission, "Error while processing or retrieving the document" is shown in Speedgrader. The PDF can be read when downloaded, but this slows grading time down a lot. What can I tell the student to do differently? Is this a known bug?
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…
