New Canvas Changes

[rachelssm]

Hi, I've been teaching with Canvas for about 10 years and the recent changes to the interface are a huge downgrade in functionality. I don't like them, my students are complaining, formatting is routinely getting messed up, and my colleagues are also bemoaning the difficulties these changes are introducing. Is there any way to give feedback to the Canvas people or to revert back (permanently!) to the old version?

Which changes, exactly, are you referring to?  There were many updates in the July 20, 2024 Canvas Release.  See Canvas Release Notes (2024-07-20) - Instructure Community - 606797 (canvaslms.com) for more details.  If you are concerned about the new fly-out for setting the "Assign To" and "Due Date" fields, that is being addressed.  In fact, a new blog was just posted this afternoon.  Updates to the Assign To Interface - Instructure Community - 610506 (canvaslms.com)

To answer your question...yes, if you have concerns about updates, that are either coming to Canvas or have already been recently applied to Canvas, at the top of each Release Notes document, there's usually a link to a "Features Q&A" forum where you can add your feedback.  For example, if you click the first link I provided, you'll find the "Features Q&A" link which points to: Solved: Features Q&A: Canvas Release Notes (2024-07-20) - Instructure Community - 606870 (canvaslms.....

I hope this will be of some help to you.  Sing out if you have any questions...thanks!
