FINALLY! I am glad that you are going to bring back this functionality to the "improved" Outcomes. When the change happened, I went to Outcomes and was shocked that the ability to see aligned items was gone with the new improvements! I was sad too that the only way to actually see the aligned items was to ask the Canvas Admin to toggle off (disable) the new improvements! Not efficient or intuitive at all! Outcomes at our college are tied to the SLO reporting data we have to submit at the end of each semester so we relied heavily on the ability to align assignments and other artifacts and view said aligned items. When this function was removed with the new update, we were scrambling to find out why. Now we know and eagerly await the return of this function.  Thanks! ... View more

Thanks for your reply. It's unfortunate that when new changes are made to certain functions, they remove the ability to use them in efficient and intuitive ways. While the "improved" Outcomes are good at MANAGING outcomes, the "improvement" does not improve the MOST IMPORTANT intuitive function of Outcomes: view alignments and artifacts. Outcomes are aligned with assignments and artifacts for a reason (collect data for SLOs) and the improvements should have been made to that function as well, not remove the ability to view aligned items. The new Outcomes are now no longer intuitive and efficient. I am not sure who decides to change things and who they consult when they are thinking of changing things. Do they ask the actual users of the tools what they would like to see changed or improved or do they just hire eager script writers to improve some things without understanding everything that is integrated with the things they want to change?  Was there any discussion about WHY the ability to view aligned items needed to be removed from the "improved" Outcomes function? If there was, why wasn't it announced in the release notes that this function would not be part of the improvements? For now our campus has disabled the new outcomes management since we need to be able to track SLO alignments. Hoping Instructure will truly make the changes to actually improve the Outcomes with the new management functions and the alignment view functions together. ... View more

Hi Lindsay, yes, I was able to do the same. I completely forgot to come back here and post. My son actually helped me figure it out. I wish this info had been addressed by Canvas Studio.  ... View more

Good morning, I am glad to hear you solved the problem! Did you do it on your own computer or was it done by IT on the entire system? If you are able, I'd love for you to give me a walk-through. Thanks! ... View more

Hi drandas1, I am so sorry to hear that a teacher of yours is having the same problem. At least I know it's not just me! So far, my Canvas Admin has not heard anything. She put in a trouble ticket and is waiting for their reply. We are set to attend a Canvas Studio training sometime in late Sept/early October (kinda late, but it'll do). I will definitely update when I find out more. Very frustrating and annoying. Sigh.... ... View more

Hi and thanks for your help. You've been great. My Canvas Admin says everything should be enabled. She is at a loss. I am not sure if she's taken it further up the ladder. I will ask again. Oh well. I guess until that gets sorted at higher levels, instructors at my college will not be able to use Studio to its fullest and students will definitely lose out. They will get the bare minimum that we can give them with the limited version of the app. Thanks again! Have a wonderful semester!       ... View more

1. According to our Canvas Admin, a version of Canvas Studio was made free to Community Colleges until Jan 2022. Could this be why there is no edit feature? I am only guessing on this. Process of elimination. 2. Yes, have tried multiple browsers, cleared cache and cookies, screen recorder launcher is all up to date, etc. Still no edit feature nor do I get the Back to Recording option you are mentioning. 3. See the 3 screenshots of the process I am doing. Image 1 is the screen where I check the screen recorder version, Image 2 is when I am recording so you can see the red record button there. IMAGE 3 is where it shows the Upload box with options is where the EDIT button is supposed to be, according to the tutorial videos I have watched. This is also step 6 in your instructions. This is where I cannot move forward because, as you can see, there is not BACK TO RECORDINGS option to click! It's merely a Preview window with no such option.   My question: Where is the EDIT button? Image 3 clearly shows there is NO EDIT BUTTON, however, in the tutorial videos, it clearly shows an EDIT button at this point in the process. Why is there no EDIT button? All I see is REDO or CANCEL (see IMAGE 3). ... View more

Hello and thank you for replying. Unfortunately I cannot get past step number 6 on your list. I do not have the option to go back to recording. The only options I am given in the window that pops up, is to either close or minimize the window, or save or cancel my recording. My question about why my version of canvas Studio does not have an edit button still has not been answered. Do you know why some versions of Canvas Studio do not get an edit button? Does it have to do with our version being the free until 2021 version? Please let me know how I can enable and edit button or if this is at all possible. I'd also like to know why we do not have an edit button that would be great. Thank you! 🙂 ... View more
