The highlight features in April are enhancements to New Quizzes moderation options and updated playback controls for Canvas Studio media, as well as Canvas media.
After the Wednesday, April 23, 2025 code deploy, teachers can add time to an in-progress New Quiz attempt by managing a student’s accommodations in the Moderate tab. The new “Apply these changes to the current Quiz and attempts as well” checkbox is checked by default.
Media playback controls will be updated for all users in releases on Saturday, April 19, 2025 Thursday, April 24, 2025. To quote the release notes for Canvas Studio, “This update provides better usability, accessibility, and integration, offering a more intuitive design, improved navigation, and greater compatibility with Canvas.” Click here to read full Canvas production release notes for Saturday, April 19, 2025.
