I want students to see a brief disclaimer with a typed acknowledgement when they first enter class, but before they actually see the modules. Is this possible?

I have already disabled comments on announcements, but it does not seem to work--I have gotten comments any way.   Is there any way to stop this?  Thank you.

I'd like to add a search widget to an existing faculty help site so faculty could search Instructure Community without leaving familiar surroundings. Wondering if anyone has already done this, whether there's an API, etc. Thanks for any info!

If you are using the IC student and parent portals, are you able to provide a link within the portal for Canvas?  We are hoping to avoid parents having to have two separate logins, one for each product.

We're looking to incorporate a progress bar in our lessons so that students can see how far along they are. Is there a partner who is able to do this, or is the best option to create images of progress bars and manually include them?

Could anyone please advise how you can change the font colour of bullet points numbering when used within a cell in a table as below?  As currently, I do not appear to change their colour to match the text font colour (example below).  Many thanks.
