A Canvas production update will occur on Saturday, August 15, 2020. Check out the full release notes. Production updates occur on third Saturday of each month, and the next planned update is Saturday, September 19, 2020.  Updates in the current release include:

Bulk Page Delete
The Pages Index page (View All Pages button) allows for multiple pages to be deleted at one time. Pages can be multi-selected by selecting a checkbox next to the pages.  Previously pages could only be deleted one at a time.

 

Course Section Column Student Visibility
If you have a Canvas course site that includes multiple sections, you can choose to hide the section information on the People page to prevent students from viewing section information if they have access to the People tool. This is a course option and applies to all students in the course.  To enable this setting, select the “Hide sections on the People page from students” under the “more options” link in your course Settings.

If enabled, students will not see the Section column if allowed to view the People tool.

Note: Setting this option does not prevent students from identifying section information in other areas of Canvas, such as if students send messages to a section from their Inbox.
