View Requirement for files in a module

Until recently, it was possible to put a .pdf file in a Canvas module with a "View" requirement, and my students could fulfill the requirement by simply clicking on that file. This method worked well for several years, but for some reason stopped working today. I was told by our campus Canvas expert that it's no longer enough for students to just view a file; they have to actually download it to fulfill the view requirement. Can anyone confirm that this is the case? If clicking on a file in a Canvas module is no longer sufficient for students to fulfill a "View" requirement, then I'm going to have to redesign several of my Canvas courses to compensate for this change. Thank you.

Hi @morrisj1,
I'm sorry to read of the challenge this behavior has created for you! This was an unintended consequence of a change we made recently. Our engineering team has addressed it, and a fix is scheduled to be released on 8/30.
I hope this helps!
