I think the first time I created the post about the rich content editor in email, and some other obvious improvements was in 2018. Think about the incredible waste of time since then of everyone having to use this failed system to try and beg someone to pay attention with no results, and the negative impact all the while of less-effective means of communicating with our students.
I'm done using this facade of improvement. I suggest faculty in California Higher Ed. start passing Academic Senate resolutions to recommend to the state chancellors office and ASCCC major reform in our ability to get quick fixes on obvious deficiencies. California higher ed. is a BIG Instructure/Canvas account, with lots of leverage. I recommend that we stop wasting our time here.

Hi Klatour, Exactly! This is the insanity of the failed Instructure approach to solving problems in Canvas. Sure, have the users direct improvements. But, where's the team of developers within Instructure that can logically recognize obvious fixes and implement them right away. The notion that we have to wait for enough community activity before action is taken can result in critical fixes not being addressed for years simply because the users have no time to spend monitoring and contributing to Canvas development. It is only out of desperation when something isn't working that a post is made generally speaking for most users. Ugh! Judd

Yes, it is a massive waste of time to have to download each document before being able to view it. I don't want, or need, to download it necessarily. It's nice to have that as an option. But, don't force us to do that. The same goes for Microsoft Word Documents and Image files too!

Text-editing tools are essential when composing a message to more effectively communicate emphasis and importance. Yet, the Canvas Conversations Inbox tool omits basic text editing features. We can use these tools when creating a post like this one. I even have the ability to embed an image in this post to further articulate what I'm referring to... Illustration of the text-editing toolbar. We need a basic text-editing toolbar added to the Canvas Conversations Inbox tool so that messages composed within Canvas can include bold, italics, etc.

On the assignments page, assignments can be dragged and dropped up or down in the list to reorganize them. But, this simple functionality does not exist with quizzes on the Quizzes Page. Why? Please implement the ability to reorganize quizzes within the list on the Quizzes Page up or down. The current system arranges quizzes in the list based on the date the quiz was created. This is not a meaningful way to organize them necessarily, and users should have the option to rearrange them if desired.

When content is imported from another Canvas course that includes announcements, there is no way to unpublish the announcements at the beginning of the semester. Either the announcements have to be deleted, and then recreated, or the "delayed posting" date must be changed for each and every announcement (a tedious process). Why not just simply have a publish/unpublish check-box feature for announcements too? That way, we can use the announcements we want to use when we want to use them, and leave the ones we don't want to use in a given semester unpublished.

When I write a message to my students using the Canvas Conversations Inbox tool, and if I post a hyperlink to a resource in the message, the link will, by default, take students away from Canvas when they click on it.
A simple programming solution would, by default, make all hyperlinks posted in a Canvas Inbox message open a new browser tab/window when clicked. Let's stop forcing students out of Canvas when they often need to remain within Canvas while exploring other resources.
