Canvas Update - Fall 2025

Here’s what’s new for Fall 2025

(Additional updates will be added throughout the quarter. Newest updates at the top.)

Scheduled Feedback in Gradebook

Starting 12/13/25, instructors can manage the visibility timing of grades and feedback for individual assignments. Timing for grades and comments can be set to be released at the same time, or comments can be set to release prior to grades. Grades cannot be released prior to comments. Scheduling feedback and grades is only currently supported for Assignments, not Discussions or Quizzes. A grade must also be entered for the scheduling to work.

Bulk Unpublish Simple Published Files

Starting 12/3/25, files added to the Modules tool will be included when performing the 'Unpublish module and all items' action. Any file set to the Published state will be unpublished during the bulk unpublish action. Files in any other state (e.g. Available by link only, or Scheduled date) will remain published. Files with Institution or Public visibility are also not supported.

Student View Button Text Change

The button text to access Student View has been changed from Enter Student View to View as Student
