Assignments
"Assign To" Field Shows "Loading" instead of Student Name
- System: Canvas
- Problem: This happens based on the number of enrollments in the course and where they are listed in the list of enrollments. In testing, it would fail after 200th enrollment. So, any user you try to assign an assignment to after the 200th will show up as 'Loading...' as it seems Canvas times out after loading 200 enrollments. This does seem to only be a UI bug though as it does correctly assign them to the users and speedgrader shows correctly.
- Workaround: None.
- Status: Resolved in the March 12 update.

Chat
Chat Pop-up Causing Functionality Loss [RESOLVED]

Course
Files
Imported File Structure Lost After Initial Deletion [RESOLVED]
- System: Canvas
- Problem: When attempting to copy exported course files into a new course, the file/folder structure did not remain intact. All file content imports correctly the first time it is imported; however, if the files are subsequently deleted from the course, and then re-imported, that is when they are loaded into an "Unfiled" folder. This is because Canvas is essentially un-deleting the files that were previously imported, and that had been disassociated with their assigned folder when they were deleted. Whenever files are un-deleted within the system, they are automatically added to an Unfiled folder to be manually moved to another folder if needed. While this is currently the expected behavior of the system, to move un-deleted files to an Unfiled folder, this can cause problems with Articulate files, HTML files, and related content that must be in the correct folder in order to work.
- Workaround: Manually move the files back into the correct file/folders structure.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 6/29/15.

Rich Content Editor
YouTube [RESOLVED]
- System: Canvas
- Problem: The YouTube embed feature (Canvas WYSIWYG editor) is not working. If you do a search, it comes up with a placeholder video, titled “device support”, which when played, shows the message:"YouTube is upgrading to a newer version, which is not supported by this device or app."(Links to an external site.)
- Workaround: Manually paste URL to YouTube video within text.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 6/29/15.

Settings
Cannot Unhide Grade Totals [RESOLVED]
- System: Canvas
- Problem: When in Course Navigation, clicking the Settings link. Clicking the more options link. Unchecking the box next to the option "Hide totals in student grades summary." Clicking the Update Course Details button, a green box displays stating that the changes were saved, however, the settings revert back to "Hide totals in student grades summary."
- Workaround: Uncheck ALL of the 'More Options' options and click "Update Course Options". Immediately, click 'More Options' and check those for which you want restricted (excluding the "Hide totals in student grades summary" and then click "Updated Course Options".
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 12/16/14.

- System: Canvas
- Problem: When adding a navigation item to a course using the Redirect tool, typing a name in for the link does not change the name. It instead appears as "Redirect Tool."

Page Error When Attempting to Reset Course Content [RESOLVED]
- System: Canvas
- Problem: This error will occur for courses that have had an LTI tool added and then launched within the course after June 14. Trying to reset course content after that has been done will not be completed, and you will instead receive the Page Error message.
- Status: Canvas engineers have fixed this issue and the update has been applied to Canvas. Please let us know if you are still experiencing this issue by contacting e-Learning Support Services at 352-392-4357 option 3 or via e-mail at learning-support@ufl.edu.

Unable To Delete Group Conferences [RESOLVED]
- System: Canvas
- Problem: We've received some reports that Instructors are unable to delete older group conference recordings. Upon clicking on 'Delete' next to the gear icon, the meeting is removed, but every time the page is refreshed, that meeting will come back in tact.

Relative URL Pointing At Course ID Instead Of Group ID Takes Student To Other Institution [RESOLVED]
- System: Canvas
- Problem: Upon clicking on 'Edit' of a Conference, a user was taken to another Institution's login page. The relative URL of the "edit" button is pointing at a course ID instead of a group ID and this is causing a redirection to another Institution.
- Workaround: If this issue is encountered, the student should be able to edit the conference by changing the word "courses" to "groups" in the URL after getting the error.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 1/10/15.

Discussions
Student Group Discussions Are Made at the Course-Level Discussion [RESOLVED]
- System: Canvas
- Problem: If a group discussion was associated to a group set before groups are created and students are assigned, students will not be redirected to their assigned group's discussions upon navigating to the root discussion.
- Workaround: Students should access the group discussion from the links provided above the discussion's title. When the assigned group is accessed by the student, they will be redirected to the group discussion thereafter.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 3/14/15.

- System: Canvas
- Problem: If a Student replies or posts to a group discussion from their mobile app, it will post to the main discussion instead of the group discussion.
- Workaround: Posting to a group discussion should be done through the mobile browser or desktop/laptop computer until this issue is resolved.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 1/12/15.

Grades
Upload Multiple New Items In Large Enrollment Course Error [RESOLVED]
- System: Canvas
- Problem: In Grades, when utilizing 'Upload Scores' within large enrollment courses, with a CSV file that contains multiple (5+) new items, an error occurs or grades do not appear to populate completely.
- Workaround: Make smaller updates to Grades using the CSV file with 1-2 new items. Note: Uploaded grades will continue to populate in a matter of minutes but you must refresh the page to see this occurring.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 5/18/15.
--<a href="User:D.m">Dalyns</a> 08:35, 07 February 2014 (EDT) 370973
Blank Screen When Attempting To Upload Scores In Large Courses [RESOLVED]
- System: Canvas
- Problem: In Grades, when utilizing 'Upload Scores' within large enrollment courses, after confirming your changes with 'Save Changes', the browser spins and then the page goes blank/white. This appears to be the case in all popular browsers.
- Workaround: Manually remove "gradebook_upload" from the URL to enter back into the course. Note: Uploaded grades will continue to populate in a matter of minutes but you must refresh the page to see this occurring.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 5/18/15.
--<a href="User:Jacs">Jen</a> 13:14, 06 February 2014 (EDT) 370423
Documentation Incorrect For Importing CSV Files [RESOLVED]
- System: Canvas
- Problem: When a user goes to upload a csv into the Gradebook and you select the help option "What should the CSV file look like?" on the upload pop-up, it takes you to an example image of what is required in the csv in order for it to be uploaded. The problem is this image is outdated. It contains a bubble right above "Section" that states "Optional, Ignored." This leads the user to believe that the section column is not required in the csv. But if they attempt to upload the csv without the section column they get an error and have to add that column.
- Workaround: Section is not optional and must be included. Required columns include: Student ID, SIS User ID, SIS Login ID, Section, Existing Assignment (###) OR A New Assignment (if you want to create a new one in the new file outside of Canvas).
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 10/30/14.

People
Enrollments
Groups
====Ungrouped Student Due To Section Drop==== <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: If a student is enrolled in two different sections within a course and also a member of a group; if they are removed from one of the two sections, the student is also removed from the group.
- Workaround: Until this issue can be resolved, checked the Group memberships frequently to regroup ungrouped Students if you're moving students between sections and/or during periods of ADD/DROP.
- Status: Solved 1/25/2015

Groups
<h4> Cannot drag students into groups to add them <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: If there are lots of groups in a Group Set, the students can't be added to the ones lower down the list by the drag-and-drop method. Can only drag so far down the list and then it's like you "hit a block" and can't drag any further down.
- Workaround: Beside the student's name, click the + sign. The list of groups will appear. Click the group to which you want to add the student.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 10/18/15.

<h4> Manually Assigning Students To Groups 'Unassigned Students' List Not Displaying Remainder <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: With larger courses, moving students manually into groups creates a lag in the "Unassigned Students" list. The list appears to be refreshing (double arrows) once all visible students have been grouped, however, this process appears to hang. The title of the list denotes there are additional students that are unassigned, i.e. "Unassigned Students (37)", but this list never repopulates on its own.
- Workaround: You can refresh your browser page or you can navigate away from the group set page and then come back to it. Both options should prompt the display of any remainder students.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 12/20/14.

<h4> Students Edit Group Discussions Despite Course Setting <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>

- Problem: Students were able to edit their discussions in their groups after the course had been set to not allow for Students to be able to.
- Workaround: None currently available.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 3/14/15.

Mobile App
====Unable To Download Canvas App For Nook HD (Android 4.0.4) From PlayStore==== <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h5>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: When using a Nook HD (Android 4.0.4) users are unable to download the Canvas app from the Play Store. Users receive an incompatibility error when attempting to download and are unable to install the app. According to the system specifics guide, the OS is compatible. The Nook HD does not have a camera, and the Canvas app requires permission to access a camera within the Android device. This is causing a point of contention.
- Workaround: Use mobile browser or desktop/laptop computer until this issue is resolved.
- Status: Kindle and Nook are no longer supported.

iOS
<h4>SpeedGrader</h4>
Cannot See Groups Only Individual Students <b>[RESOLVED]</b>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: Teachers are unable to see groups in the iOS SpeedGrader app on iOS 7.x and higher, only individual students. This results in grading difficulties.
- Workaround: Grading should be done through the mobile browser or desktop/laptop computer until this issue is resolved.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 4/29/15.

====Canvas iPhone App: Create an Announcement====<b>[RESOLVED]</b></h5>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: Users are no longer able to create new announcements from within the app. The "horn" is missing from the upper-right corner. Announcements can be replied to (the arrow is in the upper-right corner) but a fresh announcement has to be created from the web browser. Users cannot create a new announcement on the iPhone and iPod.
- Workaround: Use desktop/laptop computer until this issue is resolved.
- Status: Under investigation by Canvas engineers.

Modules
<h4>Linking Files From Files Into Modules <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: Materials within locked Files folders are not viewable when attempting to add them to Modules.
- Workaround: Move the file to a folder that is visible when added to a module. Another option would be to add the file directly to the module if the files are on the computer. You can do this by selecting the + icon for the module, change the drop down to file, and then choosing the first option which is "New File." This will give you the option to upload a file into the module.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 4/4/15.

<h4>Module Progress By Student Not Displaying Progress <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: Within the Module Progress by Student, the status seems to always show "none in progress" even when students have been making progress.
- Workaround: None currently. It should be noted that the progress window will show any modules that aren't locked as "in progress" in the right-hand side of the window, but a student can complete all of a module's required items without moving into the next module, so the left-hand column will show "none in progress".
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 6/29/15.

<h4>Modified Module Requirements Prompt Student Completion Of New Requirements Even If Previously Completed <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: When you add a new Quiz with score requirement in a previous module and select the option to allow students to "Continue" (Not Re-Lock), students who have previously completed the module before the newly added quiz will not be able to progress through the next module until the new quiz requirement in the previous module is completed. It does not lock the module again, but it tells the student that they need to complete the previous module item even if they have already completed it.
- Workaround: Complete the added quiz requirement in previously completed module.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 6/29/15.

<h4> Draft State Distorts CSS <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: When changing between draft state and turning off draft state it changes the look in pages.
- Status: Resolved internally with CSS repair.

====Students unable to view content if "Pages" hidden in Navigation====<b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: On certain version of Android, students will get an error message saying "you are not authorized to view this content" if they try to access a Page from within Modules. This occurs only when the "Pages" tool is hiden on the Navigation bar.
- Workaround: Instructor can make "Pages" available on Navigation bar at his/her discretion, or students can use a computer to access the content.
- Status: Fix has been found implemented in update on October 31.

Quizzes
===="You have made changes to the questions in this quiz" Warning Message====<b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: When previewing a Quiz, if the "Keep Editing This Quiz" button is clicked, the message "You have made changes to the questions in this quiz. These changes will not appear for students until you save the quiz." will appear. This message also appears if the "Update Question" button is clicked but the quiz itself has not been saved.
- Workaround: Review the quiz to ensure it is as intended and then save the quiz to clear this warning message by clicking the "Save It Now" button.
- Status: Under investigation by Canvas Engineers.

<h4> Manipulation of Quiz Answer Radio Button Upon Review <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: When a user is reviewing their answers, especially in the case of incorrect answers, the radio button choice appears to be fixed (selected) and a red "You Answered" along with a red outline around the answer appears. The correct answer is denoted by the colorless and/or grey "Correct Answer". If a user clicks on the text of another answer, the radio button is changed. A user could then take a screenshot as purported evidence that the system has incorrectly marked their answer. This does not impact the actual recorded answer and the manipulation will revert upon refreshing of the page.
- Status: Canvas Engineers have fixed the radio button code so that it cannot be manipulated after the fact.

====MP3 Media Files In Quiz Not Converting====<b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: MP3 files which are imported in batch to a course(such as an imported export file) do not correctly trigger a new conversion of the files in the course right away.
- Workaround: None currently available.
- Status: Solved

====Quiz Points Showing as 9.99999999999999 instead of 10====<b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: When viewing a quiz, the point value is displayed as 9.99999999999999 instead of 10. Upon editing of the quiz, the point value is displayed as 10. This is a known issue in Canvas that is due to the system not rounding correctly when it totals it up on the quizzes page.
- Workaround: None available. Students will still receive the correct percentage points when they take the quiz. This is a display bug.
- Status: Solved
--Jen 12:33, 22 July 2014 (EDT) 635202; 00396230
====Quiz with access code leads to "Page not Found error"====<b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>

<h4> Question Bank Not Synching Modifications <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: In quizzes that are published but not yet open to students, when modifying a bank, the modifications are not reflected in the existing quiz.
- Workaround: Create a new quiz that links to the edited question bank.

<h4> Quiz Log Auditing Ignores Quiz Settings <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: This feature does not take into account any other quiz setting, such as allowing students to see their quiz responses and correct answers one time. If you do not want students to be able to see their answer choices from the quiz log, you may need to wait to enable Quiz Log Auditing until after the quiz has closed for all students, or modify the quiz Until date appropriately.
- Workaround: Students do not have the ability to View Logs.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 2/11/15.

<h4>Media Uploads Play Inconsistently <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: We've had reports within specific quizzes where certain videos play and certain videos do not play; when they do not play, you can generally see the player, but it shows zero seconds of recorded data. This issue happens across Chrome, Firefox, IE(according to admin), Safari web browsers.
- Workaround: Suggested to keep trying to refresh, restart browser, use incognito mode, try different browsers until you finally are able to access each one.
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 10/15/14.

<h4>Odd Point Values When Grading Quizzes <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: When you have two question groups both pulling from the same question bank, but for different point values, this causes a situation where Canvas is giving the same question and getting confused with different results.
- Workaround: Discontinue administration of this quiz. Make a new quiz and if you really need to grab from the same pool of questions, make a second bank (that is a copy) so that each group can pull from different banks.

<h4>Media Comments Show As Converting <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: Media comments within quizzes pulled from Question Banks display as being converted when a user attempts to play them, however, the comments never actually complete the conversion.
- Workaround: Instructors, if you encounter this issue, please contact e-Learning Support Services at (352)392-4357 option 3 or by e-mail at learning-support@ufl.edu with the URL to the specific media file in order to work with the Canvas Engineers to identify any issues with that file.

<h4>Designer Role is Unable to View Unpublished Content <b>[RESOLVED]</b></h4>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: We've verified that folks in the Designer role are currently unable to view Unpublished course content. This is in direct relation to Canvas' work on permissions.
- Workaround: We suggest these folks use the Facilitator role. Canvas has suggested "For now, the only workaround is for designers or whoever may be setting up the course to immediately publish any assignments they are working on, as this will make them available for further updates."
- Status: A fix has been implemented by Canvas Engineers 9/29/14.

--<a href="User:Jacs">Jen</a> 13:25, 26 August 2014 (EDT) 708079</font> ==== Dropped Students Are Still Showing As Being In The Course ====<b>[RESOLVED]</b></h5>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: Students who DROP a course are still showing as being in the course (within Canvas) if they were added to a manually-created section prior to DROP. Currently, the DROP/ADD process runs against the registrar sections and updates those, however, it does not run against the manually-created sections that were created through myUFL.
- Workaround: Manually remove the students from the myUFL created sections. If you have large numbers of students or are unsure, please contact Learning Support Services at 352-392-4357 option 3 or e-mail us at learning-support@ufl.edu
- Status: UFIT has fixed this issue.

===Folders with spaces at the end not displaying Files correctly=== ====<b>[RESOLVED]</b></h5>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: When a folder has a space at the end of it's name, when clicked on it will not display any files.
- Workaround: Remove the space at the end of the folder name and the files will display correctly.
- Status: Under investigation by Canvas Engineers.

=====Notifications Not Being Sent to E-mail===== ====<b>[RESOLVED]</b></h5>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: Users Not Receiving Timely Notifications After Notifications Settings Modification
- Workaround: We have recently received information that it may take as much as one week (even days) for a change in Notifications Frequency to take place. Thus, if today you were to change your Notifications Frequency from Weekly to ASAP, the change would not take effect until sometime early next week. We are investigating this issue and will provide additional detail as we get more information.

=====Notifications Not Being Received via E-mail===== ====<b>[RESOLVED]</b></h5>
- System: Canvas
- Problem: Users are not receiving e-mail notifications
- Workaround: Ensure that your e-mail address is verified. To do this, click on 'Settings' in upper-right. Within the "Email Addresses" section, ensure that your @ufl email address is blue. If your @ufl email address is grey and italicized, this means it is not verified. To verify, click the address and follow the prompts to verify it. Until this is done, you will not receive any e-mailed notifications.
