Canvas deploys contain code changes that are intended to fix bugs, improve performance, and prepare for new features. These deploys take place every two weeks and can be tested in the beta environment before the production deploy date indicated in the title of this document. New to deploy notes?

I apologize if this question has been asked a thousand times, but as I was reading and commenting on papers yesterday, the rubric I created and posted suddenly disappeared from view, and now they're no longer visible for any assignment in any of my courses. Does anyone know how this happened and how I can fix it? I've…
It's frustrating to try and figure out how to replace a single image without having to upload a new one and leaving the original in the same folder. Is there an easy way to figure out what an image has been renamed to in the folder so I can find and replace it?
I want to suggest a built-in feature to turn on dark mode while using Canvas on PC.
Muting Canvas notifications feels like a smart move until you miss a due date change. Between all the emails, group chat notifications, social media alerts and Canvas alerts, it’s easy to tune everything out and mute notifications. However, muting Canvas entirely to save your sanity could actually put you in a position for…
I would like to add a teacher to a course that I set up. She has registered as a teacher on Canvas Lite and has been verified. I sent her the course code, but that didn't work for her. I also tried adding her to the course using the email address she used to sign up for Canvas Lite. That doesn't work either. Please let me…
We have three updates to the Instructure Community this month: Translations Beta, a table of contents for guide pages, and a redesigned Instructure Release space. Translations Beta Summary Translations Beta launches in the Community on November 13. The Translations Beta lets you read all Community content in the following…
If you missed it, you missed it. But here's your chance to catch up (and crash the next one). This one had a different energy. @Maeve_McCooey joined us from Ireland, where she's been running a pilot with staff and building the case for consistency across her institution's Canvas courses. Olivia Kido, PM for IgniteAI Agent,…
I previously developed and taught a course using Canvas Free-for-Teacher. I recently learned that the platform was discontinued because the course facilitate only runs once a year and I had not logged in since March of 2025. Unfortunately, I did not export my course. This course represents substantial instructional…
You stated in your Impact resources that . . . "It is important to understand the difference between these two targeting mechanisms in Impact: Concept Description Segments Define who sees a guide. Built using metadata fields sent from Canvas.Example: all users where Canvas Course Enrollment Term Name = ‘Winter Term 2’ and…
We have previously used the free-for-teacher version, and throughout the shut down we were never notified of any windows to export or regain our large amount of time and data that we spent on courses from our old account. We are fairly frustrated to find out today that this forum community exists, and that there were in…
If you missed it, you missed it. But here's your chance to catch up (and crash the next one). This one opened with a number that made the room lean in: 133 courses updated in about 90 minutes. Christopher Gaudreau from Bay Path University came back to show how he turned a week of copy and paste into one script. Nancy Munce…
I'm working with a faculty member who is creating a writing quiz that asks students to respond to questions from 3 different banks (one pulling easy questions, one pulling hard/rewrite questions, and one pulling from an AI bank). There is some kind of glitch happening whereby students are getting duplicate questions from…
Cordial saludo Actualmente estamos presentando una inconsistencia en New Quizzes al momento de realizar la migración y posterior edición de las evaluaciones. Específicamente, al intentar modificar una pregunta y eliminar una de sus opciones de respuesta, el sistema no permite ejecutar dicha acción. Con el fin de descartar…
A Discussion assignment needs to be able to have more than 2 due dates. A discussion is just that--a back and forth. To be an effective kind of assignment, Instructure needs to modify them so they can have 3 or more due dates. Students also need to be notified when someone posts within their group. Currently, students turn…
I have now had a few cases of students' responses in New Quizzes not being recorded. Normally, students get a connection error and can restart, but here they get new questions one at a time with no indication of a problem until they try to submit the exam and find that they can't submit it. Students are losing 20-90% of…
We assign coursework by section, and teachers enter the transfer grades on each assignment from before the student’s enrollment date. However, those grades do not satisfy the modules’ “Submit the assignment” requirements. Students still have to go back to the beginning of the school year and submit blank documents and…
Over the past term, I’ve explored multiple Canvas tools to build a “student channel” workflow: a space where students can post updates or reflections and receive timely, individualized responses. My goal was to create a system that supports: * Private, threaded dialogue. * Instructor notifications for new student posts. *…
This discussion was created from comments split from: Instructure Community Weekly Highlights (October 27 - November 2, 2026).
Hello everyone! Thank you for joining us at yesterday's Impact User Group meeting. Here is the link to the slide deck as well as the as the recording: Slides Recording Passcode: 2?=ub*!D Also, here are some quick tips for guides and segments in Impact: To ensure guides don't appear on assessment pages/during assessments,…
It would be helpful to see at least part of an essay submitted by students as I'm making my audio comments. Now, though, the modal box takes up most of the screen real estate in Speed Grader preventing me from quoting from what the student has submitted. Could it be smaller if one is choosing audio comments (rather than…
My iSpring lectures (in HTML5) were imported into the new Canvas Lite. They play well, but the audio (mp3) is intermittent. In trying to correct this behavior, I cannot successfully re-upload these files. How is everyone else uploading these types of lecture videos?
Hello Canvas Community! Does anyone utilize TouchNet as their payment system for Canvas Catalog courses? And if so, does anyone implement a Marketplace uStore? Other than adding tax into the course enrollment fee, does anyone have a working solution between Catalog and TouchNet Marketplace to collect tax for taxable online…
This is incredibly frustrating. I use a rubric with imported outcomes to grade my assignments. Each problem is mapped to an outcome, scored on a scale with 4 tiers (the upper 2 tiers granting mastery). For a few of my students—not all—grading a new assignment deletes their earned mastery on an earlier, unrelated…
Hello, I recently signed up for Canvas Lite teacher account and was prompted for verification. I'm planning on using Canvas Lite to host my Drama Club that I am hosting for my community. I just turned 18 so I'm in the process of getting my license except for that I've lost my Birth Cert so I'm having issues getting that at…

You already know students are using AI. The harder problem is that a finished draft no longer tells you how much of the thinking was theirs, and traditional detection tools get it wrong often enough to put you at risk with the wrong student. Changing the assignment solves more of this than changing a policy. When an…
