We have a number of faculty on our campus who use Excel in tandem with Canvas to manage various aspects of their courses. Our old LMS, Brightspace, had a one-click option to export a list of students and their email addresses. Canvas doesn't seem to have that, and I'd like to suggest it as an idea. I know it has been brought up many times in the Community to no avail:

Export Email Addresses

Many of the solutions involve Admin-level workarounds or coding hacks that are well beyond the capability of most of our faculty. I'm a Canvas Admin and I get this question all the time, and it's more than a little frustrating that Canvas can't perform what seems like such a simple task.

— Instructional technology coordinator

For Teachers: How do I use the Khanmigo Teacher Tools in my Canvas account? 

As a Portfolium Educator Tools administrator only the Member, Major, Grad Year, and Type fields display in the User Directory https://edu.portfolium.com/network/users

To display email, start date, and ID fields, an Export Users to CSV is required through the Reporting menu.  Such reporting is time-consuming and cumbersome when simple browsing is more effective. 

There is value in browsing email addresses to quickly check/verify user status and whether a member has an address that is part of the university domain. 

Would you please provide an option to add additional fields that are part of the CSV user import?

Thank you,
