How do I upload a file from Microsoft Office 365 as an assignment submission?
If your course has enabled Microsoft Office 365, you can upload a file from your Microsoft OneDrive for an assignment.
Like other file upload submissions, files uploaded from Office 365 are uploaded into your Canvas user files submissions folder.
Canvas accepts Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Excel, and PDF types.
Notes:
- If the Office 365 tab is not available in your submission, your institution has not enabled this feature.
- Canvas will require you to authorize access to your OneDrive account.
- In Office 365 assignments, you can only submit one file for your submission.
- When Office 365 files are uploaded as a submission, later changes made to the file in OneDrive will not be updated in the submission.

How do I record a conference?
As part of creating or editing a conference, you can choose to set up your conference to be recorded. Once this setting is enabled, you can start and stop the recording as necessary in the Conferences interface.
After the conference has concluded, the recorded segments will be published as one recording. You can view recorded conferences in the Conferences Index Page.
Recording Restrictions
- When creating your conference, you must select the record option to record the conference.
- Canvas' standard recording feature will store your recordings in Conferences for 14 days and then remove them automatically.
- Recorded conferences cannot be downloaded.
For alternative storage and download options, contact BigBlueButton to set up a hosting account.
Note: Creating a conference is a course permission. If you cannot create a conference, your institution has restricted this feature.

How do I download assignment submissions from all my courses?

How do I manually submit outstanding student quiz submissions?
When a student views a timed quiz and time expires, Canvas auto-submits the quiz. However, if a student navigates away from the quiz page, the quiz submission remains outstanding. On the Moderate Quiz page, Canvas generates a warning message about the outstanding submission. This lesson shows you how to submit any outstanding submissions for a quiz at one time.
Note: Untimed quizzes cannot be submitted manually. Untimed attempts will remain active until the availability date has passed, at which point the quiz will be submitted automatically.
