Thanks. It is working for me now. I don't know why it didn't before (I am using a browser, not a mobile app).

For the last couple of years, LaTeX code typed between \( and \) would render as an equation once a Canvas page was saved. This was not working for me today. Typing, say, \( k^2 \) just produced "\(" rather than the desired k with an exponent 2 on it. I see that I can now enter LaTeX code directly in the equation editor without having to click to switch to "Advanced." But the great thing about the \( and \) was that I could just type up a long page on Canvas with lots of equations and not have to spend a bunch of time repeatedly clicking into the equation editor and then clicking save.

I imported an old Canvas course into a current one. In creating a new assignment, I opened one of the old imported assignments in edit mode, copied the content, and pasted the content into the new assignment. My Canvas tabs promptly froze. I could not scroll up or down in the page of with the pasted content, nor click to move the cursor to another spot. The entire browser seemed to get bogged down (using Chrome on Windows 10), so that it would take a full minute to switch to another tab after clicking. I have tried quitting Chrome and restarting a couple of times, and the same behavior keeps occurring. If it is relevant, there are displayed equations in the content I am copying and pasting.

I would like to report another bug(?) with the LaTeX functionality. Overall, it is a fantastic addition to Canvas. But if I write an entire page using \( and \) to delimit LaTeX code and save it, it doesn't render the equations when viewed on the phone app. It looks fine in my browser on my laptop, but my students mostly access pages through their phones and they just see a bunch of LaTeX code. However, if I use the equation editor (the button at the top of the edit box) to save a single equation on the page, and then use the \( and \) to insert every other equation on the page, then it looks fine both in my browser and in the phone app. It's a little annoying to have to remember to save one equation with the equation editor, and it would be nice not to have to do that.

I didn't see an obvious way to report a bug, and I don't know who actually looks at this page, so I went to the live chat and reported it. Here is what they said: Thank you for reporting this, It seems our engineering team turned off this feature, for some reason, and seems they will enable it later but there is no ETA when this will be re-enabled again. What I can do now I can attach our engineering ticket to this case and once there is an update we will reach out to you but until that, nothing we can do, and even our engineering team did not really provide a workaround to this. Due to this is an issue that affects multiple institutions it is prioritized so I am sure it should be sorted out soon. So hopefully it will be turned back on soon... When it's permanently on, I'm going to be a happy Canvas user.

Thank for including this update. I wanted to point out that the functionality reportedly does not work with the Canvas app. I can see the equations rendered fine when I use a browser, but students report seeing unrendered LaTeX code when viewing pages in the Canvas app.

Often when I create equations, I go through a page and write all the equations as LaTeX code, then when I am done writing the page I do the following with each piece of code:
highlight the code
click the button to enter the equation editor
click insert equation
Sometimes I have to do this dozens of times, since really each time I refer to a variable 'x' the best practice is to format even that single character as an equation. And when my browser window is small, there is an additional click I have to make — I have to click the button with three vertical dots to get the button for the equation editor to appear, then I have to click twice more as described above. It would be a great speed-up if there were a hotkey that you could type after highlighting code that would immediately act as if you had opened the equation editor and click "insert equation."
One potential drawback is that if you typed erroneous LaTeX code that didn't display propertly, this shortcut would keep you from seeing a preview first. But I don't think that's a problem. When you try to insert an equation with bad code, it just shows "LaTeX: {bad code here}". That only happens to me occasionally, and I have no problem then entering the equation editor proper with the preview so I can correct the code.

I would like this too. I had a course number switch during an independant study, so my school created a new Canvas Course with the new course number. I could import all of the content I had created from the old course into the new one, but not the assignments the student had already uploaded. And she no longer had some of the images. It would have been simplest if I could just move them for her.
