[ARCHIVED] Feature Request Site

[kathleen_stroud]

I have been asked (by someone at Canvas) to visit the "Feature Request Site" but was not given a link to the page and I've not been able to find it. Would you please provide a link? Thanks!

Hi,  @kathleen_stroud ‌,

Thank you for submitting your question! Here is a guide that will walk you through how to create a feature idea, as well as provide a link to the Idea page: How do I create a new feature idea in the Canvas Community?

Best,

Danielle

The link does not work at all.

This really needs to be an added feature. It's crazy that assignment-type subtotals can't be shown in points. Also the new feature request process is ridiculously complicated.

@BMac and @SarahEBerry ...

The Canvas Community migrated to a new platform in the Summer of 2020.  Thus, some of the links that pointed to the old Community site (such as the one in @djackson's response from May 2020) may not re-direct.  Fortunately, that link does re-direct.  The three Guides I typically point people to when creating new Feature Ideas are:

• How do idea conversations work in the Instructure ... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
• What is the feature development process for Instru... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
• How do I create a new idea conversation in the Ins... - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

The page to create a new Feature Idea can be found here:

• New Idea - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

As you can see, you just type in a few keywords for your Feature Idea, and it will search the Community site to see if an existing idea already exists (to avoid duplication).  If you can't find anything that matches your idea, then you can go further to finish creating your idea.  So, hopefully not too complicated.

Please let Community members know if we can be of further help to you...thanks!
