Each area of Canvas where text can be added has different Character limits; the limits are estimated by Canvas Engineering Team. Depending on the situation for Faculty and Students, a review of character limits may be needed. 

 To view the character limits for Announcements, Assignments, Discussions, Quizzes, Submissions, Syllabus, and more, please view the chart on the Canvas website for the most up-to-date information linked below.

The chart includes character limits for the different parts of the course where the Canvas Rich Content Editor is used.
