Stop SIS Import Upload in Beta Environment?

[CatSimpson]

Hello! We were attempting to test out a SIS Import for a User file in our Beta environment. We made a csv from the template provided by Canvas for this process, and we added 2 users to the CSV. We then went into our Beta environment and asked it to process the csv file. It's been processing for quite some time (for 2 users) and it's at 0% progress. In the meantime, we're unable to return to the SIS Import tab in our Beta to try a different file. Is there a way to stop the import so that we can make some changes to the file and try again?

I'd suggest contacting Canvas Support and have them cancel the process.

You can also check here to see if there's any notes (update the URL)

Hi @CatSimpson 

You can abort an SIS import using the API. You need the ID from the SIS Import you want to abort.

// Get the current importing SIS Import //

GET /v1/accounts/{account_id}/sis_imports/importing

// Abort SIS Import //

PUT /v1/accounts/{account_id}/sis_imports/{id}/abort

Best,
