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 following chart: Canvas Character Limit Chart

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