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 (???)
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
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…
