Canvas Update: October 28, 2017
Every three weeks, Canvas releases new features, updates to existing features, and bug fixes to our platform.
In this production release (October 28), the Rich Content Editor Accessibility Checker helps verify common accessibility errors in Canvas content.
In Discussions and Assignments, the Move-To menu has been changed to a sidebar, and discussions can be duplicated from a discussion’s Settings menu. In course rubrics, the Create or Edit Rubric view visibly displays all add, edit, and delete icons in a criterion. Additionally, ratings also support rating descriptions. And in DocViewer, comments with multiple lines are collapsed by default and can be expanded to view the entire comment, and the Delete icon only displays when creating an annotation.
The Gradebook History page has been redesigned for improved performance and includes display filters for a specific student, grader, assignment, and start and end date. Additionally, the student Grades page includes an updated table design. For admins, the Act as User page displays all login details for the requested user.
Production release notes also include fixed bugs.
