I'm editing the syllabus of an existing class that someone else has set up. The column widths of the table are off. The 4th column with links should be big and the 1st & 2nd column with dates and names should be small, but the opposite is true. I'm v...

I teach 2 periods of the same courses so I created my Homepage and content in one course of each with the intent to copy it over to the other course so that I only had to do the work once. When I import the course, the image files are not copying ov...

How can I remove the "Drop files here to add to Module" that is showing up beneath each module in my course? This just started showing up and it is extremely annoying because I need to be able to see more of the course on the screen at one time.

Canvas seems to be stuck while saving a quiz. Any suggestions?

Is there a way to make multiple answers correct in a multiple choice question? I accidentally gave two correct answers and two incorrect, but I can only seem to allow one at a time for full credit.

Is there a QR code attendance tracker that integrates into Canvas? Someone has said there is, but if it exists I can't find it. The only two attendance trackers I know of that integrates with Canvas are A+ Attendance and Qwickly Attendance.
