Good new everyone! I brought this to Canvas since an instructor at our university was having the same headache and it seems to have been updated/fixed! Please see release notes: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Deploys/Canvas-Deploy-Notes-2021-07-21/ta-p/472270#toc-hId-1967885797

Is there a community question about importing an edited quiz and reimporting into the same new course that had the previous version and the new edits not taking? I have instructors that have a template course for their material and they may first import the entire course material in a new course, make changes in the original course like a quiz, and reimport the quiz again only to find the edits did not take (the original version still stays). I think it has to do with this same issue but in another effect.
In this case we saw it more with New Quizzes and I have tested this and found it to be true. My institution has already brought it up with Canvas, but I wanted to find a community page on it too.

I am glad you are considering the intuitiveness of instructors understanding how to go to the question editor/builder page as that was my concern with the initial change to clicking on the NQ title. I had thought it was a glitch and then finally found the guides saying it wasn't.
Some additional suggestions/questions I have:
Is the "Build" button just going to show when creating the NQ for the first time or does it show up again if the instructor goes to edit it?
Can a notice be provided at the top of the assignment details letting them know "how" they can continue to the question editor. I feel like buttons are not always intuitive with their actions.
If it's just a button change I do not see too many issues with changing it now, but note that universities are in Spring semester now and instructors freak out when things change on them in the middle of the semester so after first week of May would be their preference (though not sure the summer start times for other regions, I'm in Arizona).
Thank you!

This feature needs to be added, especially when teachers change the value of a questions. When the regrade is enacted, the assignment icon still appears in the Gradebook because it needs a finalized click of "Update Scores" to each student to appear. This is time consuming for Higher Ed instructors with hundreds of students in their courses. Please consider the instructor on this part and how more efficient it makes the work flow. PS: Would be nice to be added to the Gradebook not just New Quizzes, or even Classic Quizzes since our institution uses them still.

Hi Community,
I hope you can answer a question to an experience one of my instructors has had.
The instructor has a Peer Review assignment set up where students will leave annotation feedback to one another on their assignment submissions. The instructor recently started getting email notifications for the annotations (not assignment comments) and does not want this since they are annotations (see images below). In addition, there are repetitive ones from the same set of students, so it is triggering with every annotation comment it appears.
The question is: Is there a way to turn this off without turning off notifications for assignment comments?
The instructor wants to still receive notifications on assignment comments in case students add something in there, but not for each time annotations are left. Has anyone experienced this and/or knows a workaround for this?
A PDF I found by Canvas only states notifications by an instructor, so it is confusing the true functionality of the "Submission Comment" notification (document: Canvas Notifications).
Thank you!

Hi hallmans, I see your point. I do not see it as a complete issue as I can see instructors needing to hide things from students who may cheat or take advantage of the viewing. The only issue we run into as a university are students we encourage to plan ahead (more referring to online or older-aged students). If they cannot see a description ahead of the submission start date to start working early if desired, then it may deter them from asking for help early and working more efficiently. Thus, a feature option would probably be sufficient in this case. Just a toggle button for "Show assignment description before availability dates start" or something. Thank you for your insight.

Can I add to this that from what seems to have been updated on my institutions version of Canvas, Google Drive access is listed in three different ways, 2 of which are the same functionalities (GDoc & Google Drive), and 2 have the same name but are 2 different programs [Google Drive access (image 1) & Google Assignment Submission (image 2)]. There needs to be better labeling on the item and ensure that if the functionalities are different, then they are labeled accordingly. I do not understand why GDoc & Google Drive are there when they are exactly the same (see Image 1 & 2): Student authorizes access, picks their assignment, it gets converted to a Microsoft Office file, and uploaded to Canvas.

My institution users noticed that when a availability dates are set in the future to open and close for students, it doesn't just take away the "Submit" button, but also took away the assignment description the instructor provided. I recall this not being the case before, does anyone else recall this being the usual or should the assignmet descriptions be visible? The guide by Canvas states the following "If you want to create a date range for students to view and submit an assignment , you can set availability dates. Availability dates can also be called lock dates." (Source: What is the difference between assignment due dates and availability dates?) but then what is the benefit of hiding a description if students cannot see it ahead of time to prepare for it?

@RebeccaMoulder Wow, thank you so much for your insight. I figured as much that the features I was bringing up were possible yet-to-be-implemented things. Hopefully Canvas sees this for more features updates. My institution has it as a beta program, we have not released it institution-wide for the main reason that New Quizzes cannot be used with online proctroing tools as the access code cannot be encrypted. However, instructors who are still using Legacy Quizzes and have faced a handful of issues that will not be fixed I can see becoming frustrated with New Quizzes should some of these previous features in it not be implemented or improved.

@ostermmg Thanks for the feedback, yes I had an ID say PDFs were another file, so I also agree it could be the state of the file being uploaded. Maybe we'll no, or maybe it will forever be a Canvas secret. I will try to get an update from Canvas Support and post it here as soon as I hear back.

Hi Canvas Commuinity, I wanted to bring up these features I noticed were missing from the New Quizzes. Could you let me know if I am just crazy and it is possible, or if they are features that should be considered implemented into the new program: 1. How do/Can you add a file to the instructions? I know this cannot be done at the question level, but the instruction level? No option to insert a file like with the Rich Content Editor features is visible. 2. Why does Student View (Test Student) on a quiz show not time limit when it is set? I set a time limit on a quiz and went into "Student View" and my student view showed that there was no time limit set to the quiz when I clearly put in one (15 minutes). 3. Can teachers add time extension to quiz already started? When I tested this, the student user who already started the quiz did not have extra time added when teacher added it in "Moderate". This feature worked in Legacy quizzes. 4. Points on the quiz (assignment) settings are different from the points and actual questions displayed in the quiz. Is there a way for this to sync or do teachers need to do it by hand? Example: 6 questions in a quiz set at 1 point each, but on the Assignments section, it lists -/10pts since that is what I set when I first created it. Even in SpeedGrader it shows the teacher "out of 6 points". I understand it's equalizing the score, but syncing it would save some headache with going back and forth to two areas. 5. Does a quiz auto-submit when the until date passes? I saw that it does for time limit, which students can still finish a quiz with the alloted time limit regardless of the until date as long as they do not leave it, but once they leave it they cannot get back into the quiz. If the quiz is timed for UNLIMITED and they leave the quiz without submitting, the "Moderate" page shows "In progress" with no option to submit the student's work. So how else is a quiz auto-submitted without a time limit?

One of my Instructional Designers has found the main process that created the URL and it was able to be replicated: 1) Create/edit announcement or page. I have done it twice in announcements and once in a page. 2) Upload new DOCX file using the Files tab in the dynamic menu and +upload new file. 3) Type and highlight some words in editing box. 4) Click the newly uploaded DOCX file in the Files tab to create the link on the highlighted words. **Guessing it was Microsoft files since I have seen this with a PPT/PPTX file too** This was the reply from Canvas Support: Canvas wrote back - TL;DR: either upload the file, save, and then link it, or upload it to the files area first. They are investigating the problem and will let us know when it’s fixed. Our engineers are aware of this behavior and are currently looking into this. To work around this you can first add the file the course files tab and then try to link from the Content Selector or you can upload the new file to the content selector and then save the page and then you can go in and create a hyperlink from the existing file. You will be notified through this case as soon as an update becomes available from our engineers. Hopefully a fix comes up soon! Until then, be careful of your files links.

@ostermmg - Thank you for the additional information from the instructor. My images were just showing you the process of how the HTML coding of a file link changes pre-post saving. I theorized that when the link was updating, it some how generated an incorrect link unlike the one it should have. I will try to report this to Canvas, but without being able to really replicate it, it may be difficult for Canvas to pinpoint. We will see.

Hi Canvas Community, I wanted to see if anyone else experienced this same issue my instutition is. There are 2 scenarios, and they all got resolved either with time (without a known solution) or repeating sending the submission. However, it would be great to know what a potential issue is to avoid it for the future. Scenario #1: Device: iPhones mostly Issue: Students were uploading an audio submission through the Canvas Student application (Online Assignment), after recording, they click to submit it and it errors out saying they are not authorized (see screenshot). I checked the teachers setting and all was fine. He even gave me a video of the incident and the only odd thing was this display. Theory: My only theory that I could not test is that because many students were doing it at one time and on campus WiFi, there could have been a glitch. However, it resolved itself in a few days without me doing anything. The teacher had them redo it another time and said it was all fine. Therefore, not sure of the cause. Scenario #2: Device: Both iPhone and Android (but on Chinese Huwawei supposedly) Issue: Students were at home submitting audio recordings for their assignment on the Canvas Student application and even though the message said "Submitted Successfully", when they go into the "Submission & Rubric" there is no file showing. The teacher does not even get one in SpeedGrader. Solution: We had a student that was affected do it again in front of me and finally the audio showed up (others did the same). Therefore, I have no idea how this would happen with random students in the first place. I cannot test for WiFi/Signal issues since it was from their homes, nor can I pinpoint device issues since it was both iPhone and Android. Anyone else have anything to contribute, that would help me in sending this to Canvas Support if it is an ongoing issue. We know Canvas Mobile should not be used for assignment submissions ideally, but for these classes the teachers are teaching international students who are learning English language and having them utilize the devices they have for short, communicative assignments helps teachers make their assignments interactive for the students, and assistance is easy in class (not all international students automatically have computers or know how to record through it on Canvas without the teacher's aid). These assignments are not big, very short (30 seconds to 60), but it's unfortunate if Canvas is building a mobile application that can't even handle these small tasks when it is enabled. Thank you!
