I recently had an instructor infrom me of the change to peer reviews going to pages instead of being able to scroll through student names. She finds this change to be rather frustrating and would like to see this changed back to the way it used to operate, without pages, now requiring extra clicks.

Hi Patrick, I might recommend trying it for yourself first or watching the teacher. Also, reach out to Canvas Support directly to make sure it's not a bug or maybe users error -- does your district have Canvas Support from the Help menu of your Global Navigation? If this is indeed a recent change in Canvas, you would need to submit it as an Idea: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Ideas-and-Themes/ct-p/canvas-ideas-themes?tab=identified
Yes it is a change. Oh! thank you for the information on submitting this as an idea. I found it confusing as to the best location for my question. Cheers!
FYI: That link sent me in a circle and I landed back here.
I agree! The pages format makes manually assigning Peer Review VERY arduous labor. While the old format is a long page long, and modern consumers of information do not like long pages, this is a different circumstance and context. The instructor is trying to manage the entire course NOT consume information in chunks. PLEASE ask Canvas to change it back or build in the option for the instructor to toggle to their preferred interface: pages or scrolling list. This is important and affects the labor that teachers must expend doing what should be a simple task. It is important to the function of the interface; it isn't just preferences in question here. The Pages have decreased the accessibility of the interface and complicated ease of navigation for instructors.
