I am building a Copilot agent to support faculty queries. My agent is connecting to Canvas (the Beta site) API via an MCP connection in Microsoft Azure. How do I instruct the agent on Canvas API pagination? Can I just tell the agent to keep looping or do I have to ask for MCP modifications? Any experience from the…
Since April 2026, institutions have had the option to enable the Customizable Dashboard for Learners feature option, giving students a more useful starting point each time they log in to Canvas.

As an Admin, I prepare weekly analytics report for our Provost. But I do it by manually by getting the course average from each course. Is there an easier way or maybe a "smarter" way that I just don't know yet? Thank you all for your insights.
I can’t believe it’s been more than 10 years since we launched the very first Instructurecon Game Night! For over a decade (minus a temporary intermission for Covid, of course), Game Night has been one of our absolute favorite traditions. It’s the perfect space where we can kick back, share some massive laughs, forget…
Last years classes for my teachers do not show up now. On the admin side I see them but I can't figure out why the instructors can't access them and it's a lot of teachers not just one. Ideas?
What do I need to change in my layout, I have enabled it to be viewed by students. However ,when I view as a student am unable to see it on their side. I have a couple students that can't authorize resondes to be used stopping the testing ability with the lockdown browser. Has anyone encountered this.
I’m an LMS Admin in Higher Ed. As I’ve been diving deeper into our New quizzes testing, I’ve noticed some issues with the Manual Submit function on the Moderate tab that have me seriously concerned. Does anyone else have similar concerns? How are you approaching them? Why aren’t students immediately notified that their…
As AI tools become a regular fixture in our students’ lives, the conversation in education has shifted. It’s no longer about if students will use AI, but how. Without explicitly stated boundaries, learners are often left guessing what counts as legitimate assistance versus academic dishonesty. When we leave AI expectations…

Hi, I can't get this working right. I've created outcomes where the calculation method is to meet mastery twice. I've aligned them to several assignments. The grade book displays mastery as met when it's only been achieved on one of the assignments. It's not showing positive or negative for the other assignments. (I've…

Can anyone point me to a theme manager for the resource centers in the new Impact platform? We have a theme manager for the Guides, but the Resource Center does not seem to have access to the theme library.

Hi All, I am an LMS admin at my institution (higher ed college, ~12k enrollment), which is new to Canvas, transitioning from Blackbaord Learn. As part of our contract we chose to purchase Intelligent Insights, hoping it would solve a variety of reporting needs. However, as my post title implies, we are finding that…
At a technical level, if a user exists in two separate Canvas instances, is this a problem a Canvas Trust can address? If so, how? Can you add a trust(ed) login to an existing user account? Most of the (very limited) documentation I've found seems to focus on Trusts operating with enrollments, not users, but it does seem…
Since the DAP updates posted on June 30 (here), our Canvas Data 2 integration with Microsoft SQL Server has not been completing properly. I followed the post's indication that only a dap snapshot —namespace canvas —table [tablenames] command would be needed, but that hasn't resolve the issue. Specifically, when performing…
Is it possible to have viewing a page or satisfying the requirements of a module be part of the course pacing?
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…
