Canvas Feature Updates – February 2026
Course Settings – Cross-listing Updated to InstUI
Production Environment Availability: 2/25/2026
The Cross-list modal is updated to use React and InstUI. Functionality remains unchanged, but there are minor visual updates to improve consistency. These cosmetic changes, such as field styling or borders, do not affect how the modal works. This update gives the Cross-list form a cleaner, more consistent look.
The Cross-List Section modal displays minor visual updates.
Navigation – Improved Course Navigation Drag-and-Drop
Production Environment Availability: 2/25/2026
The course navigation page is updated to the latest coding patterns in React and TypeScript. Changes include:
- Dragged items are highlighted with a blue fill and border instead of gray, consistent with keyboard-based reordering.
- Items can be reordered using the keyboard: select an item, press Space to start moving it, use the Up/Down arrows to reposition, and press Space again to drop it or Esc to cancel.
- While dragging with the keyboard, Tab and Shift+Tab do not change the selection. Only one item can be moved at a time, so this does not affect functionality.
This update improves visual clarity and keyboard accessibility, making it easier and more predictable to reorder items and manage course navigation efficiently.
In the Course Navigation tab, dragged items are highlighted with a blue fill and border.
