Page To-Do incorrectly displays utc time that is labeled as your time zone.

Issue Documented: 2025-06-25
Canvas

This behavior has been resolved and deployed to the production environment as of 7/16/25.

Description

When a page is added to Student To-Do and accessed on the Pages or Wiki tab of the course, the To-Do displays based on UTC, but is labeled as their local time zone.

Expected Behavior

The To-Do time should follow the Time Zone set in the user account regardless of where it is viewed from, but the label should also be correct.

Workaround

No workaround exists at this time.

Steps to Reproduce

Prerequisites: a course with a page

  1. View the page from the Pages tab

  2. From your settings, change the System Time Zone

  3. Notice it displays as the time you set but in UTC and the label will be for your current timezone.
