When a student submitted a Turnitin assignment to Canvas, Canvas immediately sent a request to Turnitin to receive the submission and originality report information. This behavior sometimes resulted in the request being sent before the submission was ready for processing, and either the submission or originality report would not appear in the SpeedGrader. This behavior only affected institutions using the Turnitin LTI. Canvas code has been updated to wait five minutes (previously 60 seconds) to request the submission and originality report from Turnitin.

Send Individual Messages Checkbox
In the message composition page, the Send Individual Messages checkbox option no longer includes an information icon. This icon previously explained the purpose of the checkbox, which has now been added to the checkbox description. This change improves accessibility for keyboard users.
Course Settings
Add Section Button
In the Course Sections tab, the Add Section button match similar button styles throughout Canvas.
Rich Content Editor
Remote Version of Rich Content Editor and Sidebar
The Rich Content Editor sidebar update is used in conjunction with the Use remote version of Rich Content Editor and Sidebar account-level feature option, which can be enabled by an institutional admin in Account Settings.
The Rich Content Editor sidebar has been updated with backend improvements, resulting in small interface changes. The sidebar includes a visual style update, and each content section supports pagination. Currently, the Rich Content Editor sidebar update only affects Pages and the Syllabus. Additional feature area updates will be available in a future release.
To manage performance, the sidebar change is associated with an account-level feature option. During the next few weeks, Canvas engineers will be enabling the feature option across all Canvas accounts. However, the feature option can be enabled by a Canvas admin at any time in Account Settings.
Outcomes
Outcomes Buttons
At both the account and course levels, the buttons for adding an outcome and an outcome group match similar button styles throughout Canvas. Additionally, the buttons to move, edit, and delete an outcome group include shortened text.
User Settings
International SMS Country Additions
International SMS functionality is used in conjunction with the International SMS account-level feature option, which must be enabled by a Canvas Customer Success Manager (CSM).

The following countries have been added to SMS notifications: Austria, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, France, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Paraguay, Poland, South Korea, and Uruguay.
Note: Notifications cannot be sent from the Canvas beta environment.
