I agree with this comment. It would be hugely valuable if anyone with say an instructor role in the course the commons resource was created from could have the ability to update the relevant items in common. Not being able to update means there is a high risk of duplicate items in commons. It would also be really valuable if there was then a clear link between resources and their existing commons entry (eg full course, a module etc), to reduce the risk of a user accidentally selecting the incorrect resource when doing an update.

I was trying to find a list of the supported file types. I found https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/What-types-of-files-can-be-previewed-in-Canvas/ta-p/607 however, I wasn't sure if this list was accurate for inline / overlap preview within pages. I found that xlsx didn't preview (sat as a loading screen), xls did but doesn't look like a spreadsheet when in preview (don't see the grid lines etc). Is there a documented list of supported file types?

I haven't seen anything back yet - is there a specific email address their communications would come from? I could see if it got caught in my junk mail.

would also find this hugely useful, ability to save comments as generic (so available across all your courses / assignments) or being able to group or tag the comments, and a setting in speedgrader where you can select a specific tag (or tags) to only pull comments from when filtering the comment library when you're trying a comment would be hugely valuable.

Renee_Denham · ‎02-01-2022

This would be HUGELY valuable. either having a "Send To" option to share a comment library with select individual, like how Pages etc can be shared, or having an option in SpeedGrader when you're in the Manage Comment Library screen to enable share comment library with other instructors in the course.

Currently to-do items indicate a to-do deadline date at the top of the page, but you cannot check it off on that page, you need to go to the checklist to mark things off. It would be a more seamless user experience for students to be able to check items off when looking at the item in question. 🔎 This idea has been archived. While this idea isn't open for comments, it is an important part of Instructure’s idea conversations and development process. Contributions like this are valuable as Instructure prioritizes work on new or existing features.

great idea!

Currently if you wish to include an assignment/discussion etc in a mastery path, but you also want that the item to only be available to a specific section of the course you can't. Adding multiple assign settings creates an OR relationship. It would be helpful in the case of Mastery Path being assigned that it could behave in an AND relationship with other assigned sections. 🔎 This idea has been archived.

Currently when it's outside of availability dates discussions say "This topic will be available XXX" and assignments say "This assignment is locked until XXX" It would be really valuable if it was possible to specify alternative text to show in this situation (with the existing messages as the default if an alternative text isn't provided)

@KristinL I've submitted a support inquiry just now (as I completed further testing), with the following: I've been testing ePub generations to see how they behave as I am hopeful that we will be able to promote these extensively to students, but I've noticed a few things that significantly decrease the viability of this (note I've tested in a chrome browser based epub reader extension, and with calibre) 1) Currently when downloading an epub of a course if there are heading text in the modules it comes up as " is not currently supported" rather then the text displayed as a heading 2) items in a module all show as the same level in an ordered list, rather then replicating the structure shown with the indentation in the course site. 3) when a studio video is embedded within the content the ePub just shows a error box with "it may have been moved or deleted" - I had expected a link to the embedded content swapped in automatically. Ideally that would be the default but if there was also a way to override that and provide "replacement" text for epub that would allow for providing more detailed instructions etc to suit that medium that would be desirable. 4) when external content is embedded in an iframe (video from Echo360 in this case) it shows an empty box (no error message or copy of the link) 5) when a link to a file within Files is included, in SOME cases, it swaps out for a message "File FILENAME could not be included in the ePub document. Please see separate zip file for access.", but if there are multiple links in a row, the first is swapped out, and the remainder become a link that is a broken link. I also have a suggestion around these ones, would it be possible (or is there currently a way) to add styling to the replacement link text automatically that ONLY is for the epub download to highlight that message? (ie that they need to look at the seperate zip of files) I will report back when I receive a response. Kind Regards, Renee

this would be incredibly useful for grouping content, especially for highlighting a clear distinction between say Assessment and Learning Materials (also valuable for visually separating an Introductory, or Support modules).

Renee_Denham · ‎01-11-2022

heading text should show as a heading in the epub, and indented content should show as sub points (eg 1.1, or a etc). Currently when downloading an epub of a course if there are heading text in the modules it comes up as " is not currently supported" rather then the text displayed as a heading, and items in a module all show as the same level on the ordered list, rather then replicating the structure shown with the indentation in the course site.

Renee_Denham · ‎01-11-2022

I was disappointed to see that the "Text Headers" that you can add to modules are just spans, they aren't a heading tag. It would improve accessibility if these were heading tags There is "<h2 class="screenreader-only">Module Title</h2>" for the module level headings, but these "text headers" do not appear to have an equivalent h3 tag.

This is a great idea!

Being able to have a submission type of page or pages from a group would have the benefit of the contribution data, pair it with: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Idea-Conversations/Copy-Page-to-Groups-and-Group-Sets/idi-p/498389 and you would have templated pages groups can complete for assessment.

Renee_Denham · ‎11-21-2021

It would be very handy to be able to create page templates and copy them to groups (ideally to group sets to make the process faster) so that the students can then use those pages as structuring / planning for assessment tasks.

Renee_Denham · ‎11-17-2021

would make rubrics way more reusable and lower maintenance (eg if the total points of the assignment changed you then wouldn't have to update the rubric)

Renee_Denham · ‎11-03-2021

I was wondering if you ended up putting the solution on GitHub? I agree with you that this functionality should exist within Canvas!
