When a teacher tries to publish a file located in a hidden folder (a folder that is set as hidden in the course files), students cannot access the file because the folder remains hidden. Teachers experience frustration due to unclear feedback in the interface. Students miss out on important course materials.
Add a pop-up warning when a teacher tries to publish a file located in a hidden folder. The warning message could state: "This file is located in a hidden folder. Students cannot access it unless the folder is made visible in the course files settings." Benefits: Reduces confusion and frustration for teachers. Improves students' access to course materials. Saves time for both teachers and Canvas support staff.
