So one of my favorite things about being a Canvas user is that we can create and vote on changes we would like to see the company implement into the system. However as I was looking today at the current list available to vote on, I was discouraged by the sheer volume of feature requests. There was over 30 pages of requests! How in the world are people going to ever find things? There is search functionality, but it's still a lot to sift through if you are just looking for other ideas. Well I decided to make a "Top 40 of Buried Feature Ideas" to help out some of the ideas that I think have some merit but are buried under a few other pages of other good ideas. So in order of least votes at the time of making this list, here they are. If you are a Canvas user, log in to the community and go vote on these.
