Where can I find a list of all updates made in Canvas?

[ortegao1]

I am curious what updates have been made to Canvas in the last 10 years. As I read through this forum, I see MANY suggestions tha Canvas has completely ignored. I'd like to see what they have been working on so that I can better understand why we are spending all this money on this LMS product.

Hi @ortegao1 

I recommend that you take a look at the Idea Conversions area of the community, where product suggestions are discussed and voted on by the community: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Idea-Conversations/idb-p/ideas 

You can also look at the Release Notes list for a history of updates: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Releases/tkb-p/canvas-release

Hi @ortegao1 ...

In addition to the helpful resources that you received from @mzimmerman, I'd also suggest taking a look at Instructure's Roadmap page to see what kinds of things are planned for the upcoming quarters:

Product Roadmap - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

Hope this helps a bit.  Sing out if you have any other questions...thanks!

Hmmm, what happens after something is voted on? There is an issue that was first brought up and voted on in 2015. It received the required 100+ votes but was never acted on. I am having this same issue in 2022. Why wasn't this acted on?

Hi there, @ortegao1 ...

I think much of this document (especially the part on "If my idea doesn't align...") will help address your question:

What is the feature development process for Instructure products?

Hope this helps!
