sending emails

[EmilioVillalba]

When I go to compose and email through canvas all of my classes from previous semesters show up which makes it confusing and creates extra steps to figure out the exact course to email. Is there a way for just the current semester to pop up in course tab?

Hello @EmilioVillalba - in the Inbox, 'All Courses' is selected as the default view. We can change this to instead see the inbox / sent messages, etc. for a specific course by using a filter . See here: How do I filter conversations in the Inbox?

One additional suggestion to help is to 'unfavorite' completed courses as this will reduce the number of courses within the favorite courses list. I do so as it helps to keep things tidy and so I can focus in more quickly on active courses.

Have a wonderful semester!  ~ Jeff

How do you unfavorite courses, please?

Hi there, @lbranen-ahumada ...

I replied in your other thread as well, but you can learn more about favoriting and unfavoriting courses by following the instructions in this Guide:

How do I customize my Courses list?

I hope this will be helpful to you.

Huge help! I had no idea. Thanks so much!

Something else to consider for this @EmilioVillalba is the ability to assign nicknames to course shells, which can be helpful if you have multiple course shells during the same semester.

Check out the "Create Nickname" section of How do I view my courses in the Card View Dashboard? - Instructure Community - 618765 for help with that feature.
