Hi, an export of one of my courses was made and my course is not shared on the commons. Is there a way to find out who may have expored my course content? Thanks.

Hi @ebard,
While on your course export page, if you add "/api/v1/" to the URL right after your Canvas domain (so it would look like https://school.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/123456/content_exports ), you'll see some text output showing details of your course exports. One of the fields in this text is the numeric Canvas user_id of the person who did the export. Now, unless you're an admin, you may not be able to take that numeric user_id and figure out who it is, but there's one trick you can try. If you go to your course People list and add a / and then the numeric user_id you got from the last step to the end of the URL, you'll end up on a page with the user's info if they are enrolled in your course. If the user is an admin, you'll likely receive a page error or something similar. This may at least give you some idea of what happened though, and you could always ask your local Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) if they'd identify the person for you based on the Canvas user_id number.
Hope this helps!
