And does this fix the formatting issues for the Setting 2 expiration explanation?
What happens if the Setting 2 timer expires?
We have 2 possibilities here:
Setting 1 timer is not yet expired → the user remains logged in regardless of setting 2
In this case, I will not be logged out because the app will detect that Setting 1 timer is not expired and it will just reset the Setting 2 timer. I will not even notice that the Setting 2 timer expired. I can continue using the app until the Setting 2 timer expires (which is not happening until I am actively using the app).
Setting 1 timer has also expired → the user is logged out
This can happen only if I am idle; I did not interact with the application recently. In this case, since I am not using the app, I will not notice anything.
Next time when I start the application (or bring the app into the foreground) it will ask me to log in (select school and provide credentials).

After looking at again, I am going to attempt to answer my own post above. I think there are some formatting issues that need correcting. Should it be this?
What happens if the Setting 1 timer expires?
We have 2 possibilities here:
I am actively using one of the Canvas Mobile apps when the timer expires
In this case, I will not be logged out because the Setting 2 timer has not yet expired. I can continue using the app until the Setting 2 timer expires (which is not happening since I am actively using the app—see later)
I have already closed the application or just put it into the background, so I am not using it actively
Next time I open the application, the app will check the Setting 2 timer status and if the timer has expired, it will ask me to log in (select school and provide credentials)
If the timer has not expired, it will let me open the application without logging in and will continue allowing access until I become inactive for the Setting 2 duration

Thanks so much for the information on this and for working to provide this security feature.
I am confused by some of the bullets under What happens if the setting 1 Timer expires?
What do these mean in relation to what happens to the user?
I am actively using one of the Canvas Mobile apps when the timer expires
I have already closed the application or just put it into the background, so I am not using it actively
I think what may be causing the confusion for me is that under, "We have two possibilities here" there are 4 bullets. I understand the first two but am unsure what happens to the user with these other 2. Thanks for any clarification you can give!

Hi! We really appreciate this blog. it is so helpful as we prepare for New Quizzes.
We have done some testing and found a couple of things we wanted to suggest or get more information about.
We are missing hover tooltips on the main build page. This poses a problem for users who are less comfortable with technology (are screen-readers picking up on these icons? If so, can the icons have a hover tooltip that displays the same text label the screen-reader picks up?). We have instructors who will want to know exactly what they are clicking on and may not feel comfortable with the mostly icon-driven interface. There is a tooltip for the “+” button that adds a new question, but it would be really helpful to have hover tooltips for all the icons.
Different Autosave behavior - no “save” or “cancel” button at the bottom of the page as is present in Classic Quizzes. Instead, when editing a question and then clicking outside the question box, it autosaves. We’re worried this could make it really easy for instructors and TAs to accidentally mess up quiz questions without realizing they’ve made any changes, especially anyone who might use a touchscreen device, like a tablet. Here are the things we have found that may trip some of our folks up:
When first creating the Item (question), the user must click Done .
When making edits to the question, clicking outside the Item (question) box will auto-save the changes.
Users must click Cancel if they want to void their changes FOR THAT QUESTION. No way to cancel all changes made to the quiz in one fell swoop as we have in Classic Quizzes.
Question: Can you see the quiz revisions? That may help if the instructor accidentally makes changes not realizing it autosaves.
Thank you very much!!!

Do they have to be a teacher in the current term? We have an instructor who is a teacher in the upcoming term, and also spring 2019, which has ended, but not this term. She does not have the commons icon.

Wow, new community is so different. I can't find the link to like. So.... I would also like to like @amychapm's official statement - the permissions for designer in classic quizzes should definitely match permissions in new quizzes. There is no reason to change that, so it sounds like it was accidentally left out...and may have something to do with the permissions upgrade soon to come?

Exactly how I was intending to respond, but you beat me to it. Our users use both Canvas media upload and Kaltura. We promote the Kaltura platform for many reasons (auto-captions for one) but students often use the Canvas media upload because they don't need their assignment upload to be captioned. Thanks for asking, Peyton!

So I asked our Design Tools Lead and he said he hasn't seen any, but doubts there is any competition with the track record and experience of DesignPLUS out there. It is a wonderful tool and we have been happy with it and with their support.

Hi! We turned on the new RCE for everyone and found that folks had more trouble than we thought they would with it, especially finding the spot to upload Kaltura, which is our second most important tool, after Canvas. I am looking forward to some of the updates that Canvas is making to it to make it easier for our instructors to use. Thanks so much for listening!

Hi - not really. The inbox doesn't actually show emails, but you can still send a message via Canvas to the email attached to their accounts. The only way we could hide a student name from the rest of the class would be to create a new section with just that person. Then that person couldn't participate in discussions or groups, so that really wouldn't work.

We are also looking for this for ABET accreditation reviewers, but also found it not possible. We are now just looking to create a course role that can look at submissions (and grades) but NOT edit content. Any tips for that would be welcome - or if anyone has already done this, please let me know what the permissions look like for that. Thanks!

We would like to be able to shut down this feature by course, instead of having it be all or none. We also have distance students with a need for privacy, so it would be great to have a privacy flag option for individuals to hide their names from other students in the Canvas inbox rosters. I had heard at one time that when messaging updates, it will be completely different, but that it isn't on the road map currently. Just want to keep the ideas alive for when it does come into the light.

Our student business services just asked us to implement this. I had no idea this couldn't be done through a SIS file. Is it true that each student has to be disabled in each course one-by-one?
