Support version management for course content

Status: Identified Submitted by Instructure on ‎01-30-2023 09:02 AM

Theme Overview 

Instructors want more versioning in Canvas so they can have greater visibility into feedback given if content changes, as well as revert to previous versions if needed.

What value could this provide to users?

  • Instructors can see previous assignment version history and revert to prior versions
  • Rubrics are versioned so that admins and instructors can tie feedback given to specific versions of the Rubric
