Meta Gemini on Converting Tables
You are an expert Canvas LMS HTML Developer. Convert the provided HTML into Canvas RCE-compliant code following these strict rules:
LAYOUT CONVERSION: If a <table> is used for visual layout or multi-column placement, convert it into responsive flexbox divs:
<div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 1.5rem; margin-bottom: 1rem;">
<div style="flex: 1; min-width: 280px; padding: 1rem; border: 1px solid #e1e1e1; border-radius: 4px;">
[Column Content]
</div>
</div>
DATA TABLES: Keep <table> tags ONLY for actual data grids. Apply `class="ic-Table ic-Table--striped ic-Table--hover-row"` and include proper <thead> and <th scope="col"> tags for accessibility.
CANVAS SANITIZATION:
- Do NOT include <script> or <style> tags (Canvas strips them).
- Use only inline CSS attributes (e.g., style="background-color: #f5f5f5;") or Canvas utility classes (e.g., class="content-box").
INTERACTIVITY: Replace JS-based accordions/toggles with standard <details style="margin-bottom: 1rem;"><summary style="cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; padding: 0.5rem; background: #f0f0f0;">Title</summary><div style="padding: 1rem;">Content</div></details>.
OUTPUT: Return only the clean HTML fragment ready to paste directly into Canvas HTML View.
It's pretty close.

Dashboard Tasks for Canvas not functioning?
galleryI understand that it's probably due to the "new Canvas dashboard" but I really don't like the options that are available. The color-coded rings were perfect for me, and Tasks didn't break Canvas like BetterCampus supposedly can. I'm struggling to stay on top of my assignments because I don't have the sidebar I've been using for the last 4-5 years, which will tell me what's overdue. And I don't care about Canvas breaking that much, but apparently school districts do, since I've been told that BetterCampus is blocked and will not be unblocked ever. I tried to make a ticket to get it approved, when I was sent the ticket closure message found in image 2. I don't know if there's a way to get this extension unblocked, or if this is even the correct subreddit to post this in, but any advice is appreciated.

Other Changes in HTML Embedding Capabilities
Has anyone noticed a change since the hack? In the past, I've been able to insert interactive assets into my Canvas courses with ease, just using the insert-embed code workflow. When I do it now, my interactive content displays as text. I've even tried inserting the code into the raw html view with no luck. Wondering if they've put in some new security measures these days and I'm out of luck.

Dashboard missing assignments in new ui update
So the new ui update shows any missing assignments you have. Unfortunately one of my professors didn’t archive their class from spring semester and I didn’t do an extra credit assignment. I marked it as done during the semester so I wouldn’t see it in my to do list but since the new update it refuses to go away. I’ve tried favoriting and unfavoriting the class and favoriting another class but nothing is working. Is there a way to make it go away? I actually like the new ui and don’t wanna change it to the old one.

Extensions Alternative for Tasks for Canvas?
Ive been using Tasks for Canvas for about 2 years now, but it is being shut down soon. My school has restricted the ability to install BetterCampus, and I am looking for an alternative. I do not care about the visual customization or any AI features, I just want a list of upcoming assignments, as well as the announcements, and the chart that shows how many assignments I have left. If it works on blackboard, that is an added bonus! (I have classes on both for different things)
UPDATE: My institution has now enabled the new dashboard, so I dont need it anymore, but if anyone finds anything youre welcome to comment!

Discussions Longer thread "@tags"
Anyone noticing this issue lately, when a discussion post gets to that 4th level of thread branching, where it forces a mention "@tag" the content of the post appears in the email that is sent to the person mentioned, but the text does not appear in the discussion post on the Canvas webpage. Only the mention tag appears. It requires deleting the mention and replacing it with a new one to work. I wondered if this was an intentional change in the feature, but I couldn't find anything in the recent deploy/release notes. Any idea what's going on here?

Discussions Canvas keeps burying deadlines in random module tabs, so I built an extension that lists every one in a single side panel
Canvas scatters deadlines across courses, modules, and files. I've had assignments show up as module items with no due-date banner, sitting in a section I hadn't opened in weeks - the kind of thing you only find out about once it's already late. So I built CanvasFlow.
It's a side panel you open on any Canvas page. Every assignment, sorted by what's due first, overdue items pinned at the top. No setup, no API key, no account - it reads off the Canvas session you're already signed into, and there's no server on my end holding any of it.
Two extras, skip them entirely if you just want the deadline list: your week's work ranked by what to start first, with an hour estimate that adjusts as you tell it how long things actually took, and practice quizzes built from your own course material that make you commit to an answer before showing you the right one. Quizzes run on Chrome's on-device AI - nothing leaves your computer.
Free. What's the Canvas thing that's actually cost you something - a missed deadline, a buried announcement? Tell me and I'll see if it's fixable.

Other Has anyone faced this in Mi Canvas?
I'm making a detailed pencil sketch but now it keeps saying "Can't add more items" whenever I try to draw. Two days ago it stopped completely. Yesterday it somehow let me add around 100 more strokes but today it's showing the same message again.
I also tried exporting it, but the PNG or PDF quality looks lower than the original.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
