Summary
In Groups, admin and instructors can extend the end date for badge groups up to 6 years from the creation date.
Note: Previously, the end date for badge groups was limited to 1 year from the creation date.
Change Benefit
This change enhances flexibility of badge group management by allowing admin and instructors to extend the end date of groups, ensuring they align with the specific needs of their institution.
Feature Workflow
To set an End Date use the date picker.
Note: By default, the end date is set as one year from the creation date if no end date is specified.
Additional Details
This update is available to Canvas Credential users only.
Sync Refactor
Summary
Canvas Credentials is releasing Phase 1 of a sync refactor to improve synchronization between Canvas and Canvas Credentials. This provides a more reliable experience and ensures a robust synchronization strategy that accommodates LTI 1.1, LTI 1.3 and direct integrations between products.
Change Benefit
This update enhances reliability in the synching process and improves the speed of LTI launches. Additionally, Admins or teachers departing from the Canvas course/account no longer causes sync failures and Canvas OAuth authorization is no longer needed. Note: This change does not extend to self-hosted Canvas instances.
Note: This update does not affect the User Interface.
