Canvas: October updates

Updates to Canvas were released on October 17. To see all the new features and fixed bugs view the complete October Release Notes.

The following updates have been made in Canvas:

  • Recent History Link — The Global Navigation Menu includes a Recent History link, which displays Canvas’s recently visited pages. This change helps users remember what page they last viewed in one or multiple courses.
  • Notification Preferences Interface Update  — The user-level Notifications page has been updated to match the course-level Notifications page’s design. Additional enhancements have been added to clarify notifications between each level. These changes align the user interface for consistency, remind users about notification overrides at either the course or user levels, and improve navigation.
    • Account Notification — The name of the Account Notifications page is also included in the breadcrumb trail for easier navigation. Notifications for individual courses can be changed within each course and override user account notifications.
    • Course Notification — The Course Notifications page also includes a banner notifying users about these overrides.
