Canvas Commons

We've removed Commons due to privacy concerns. Now I think these have been resolved, and we want to add enable Commons agains. Can't find how to do this.

Best, Beate

If you are a Canvas administrator, you will want to reach out to your assigned Customer Success Manager team at Instructure.  They should be able to help you with questions about Commons.

Also, I'm a bit curious what kinds of privacy concerns you had with Commons initially.  This isn't something I've seen concerns about before.  No need to get too specific, but if you have any thoughts to share, it would be interesting to read those.

Thanks. Was hoping it was possible to just turn it back on.

The concerns were related to GDPR. European institutions got an email saying there was some issues around where data was sent, and we were advised to turn commons off while this was investigated.
