Submission comment emoji

[ajw13]

Hi,

I find the emoji in submission comments annoying as it often gets in the way when I am typing important comments about a student's work.  I know I can turn it off under the settings for a course.  However, I teach 5 to 6 courses a semester which means each semester I have to do this for each course.  Is there a way to globally turn this off similar to how I can change notifications globally?  If not, can this please be put on the "to do" list?

Hi @ajw13 ,

No, you will need to do this for each course individually. The only way you can do this globally would be if you are a Canvas Admin and have permissions to edit the feature options. If the feature option is enabled by default, that means your institution enabled it as a feature option for all your courses by default. You cannot do this as a teacher.

Notification settings and course feature options are completely different. Notification settings are related to your specific user account as a whole, but feature options are related to a specific course only.

I hope this helps!

Further to @NoahBoswell 's response, if you'd like to put this on Instructure's "to do" list, as you put it, you can submit it as a feature idea.
