Adjusting Alignment of Rubrics

[ac8ga]

I am creating a rubric for a faculty member, but as you can see on the attached image the lines for each point value don't line up.  Is there anyway to move the lines so they all match up (i.e. 15pt value criteria box matches throughout the entire rubric?

Hello ac8ga and welcome to the Canvas Community!  There is currently no way to make the columns in rubrics align regardless of the amount typed into the rubric itself.  However, there is an idea currently open for vote to which you might consider lending your support.  The response by  @James ‌ in this idea also has some helpful information.

The link on this doesn't seem to work. What happened to the request for this feature?

I concur with theresa_jarvis. The link does not work at the moment, and I hope this future is integrated.

I happened to align my rubric's view in the way I wanted in the past. I was trying to remember the process. So, at least, there was a workaround solution.

As seen below the image, my rubric criteria and rating descriptions are aligned.

(Note that this is the view in the grade book)

After a bit of investigation, it appears to me that the aligned view is available only in the grade book view, and the editable rubric on the rubric management page is not aligned. So, likes the future is not integrated. 

At the end of the day, the grade book view is more important for my use and students' view. Having this aligned at least there is something helpful. It would be more meaningful if it has the same view on the design page as well for editing and having a correct preview.

Good luck with your rubrics!
