Canvas Update – August 6, 2016
Every three weeks, Canvas releases new features, updates to existing features, and bug fixes to our platform.
In this Production release (August 6, 2016), instructors can exclude assignments from a student’s final grade and save comments as drafts in SpeedGrader. This release also brings a SpeedGrader interface update for instructors, though no functionality has been affected. Instructors can also view submissions for inactive and concluded enrollments in SpeedGrader according to the visibility settings in the Gradebook.
Users who can view Pages and the Syllabus may notice an improvement to the Rich Content Editor sidebar. This enhancement is being enabled on a per-account basis by Canvas engineers and may already be enabled for your institution. The Rich Content Editor also supports the track tag for caption files.
The production release notes also include fixed bugs.
