## What You Can Do Right Now

1. The “Hard Refresh”

If you are an instructor trying to edit a quiz, or a student who just got kicked out, try a Hard Refresh (Ctrl + F5 on Windows or Cmd + Shift + R on Mac). This forces your browser to bypass its local cache and ask the server for a fresh (and hopefully working) version of the page.

2. Avoid “New Quizzes” for the Next Hour

If you have a deadline, try to wait at least 30–60 minutes before attempting to submit. Submitting during a 502 error can sometimes result in “failed uploads,” meaning your answers might not reach the server even if the page eventually loads.

3. Check for Local Browser Conflicts

If your classmates are getting in but you aren’t, the 502 might be caught in your browser’s “memory”:

• Incognito Mode: Open Canvas in a private/incognito window. If it works there, you need to clear your browser’s Cookies and Cache.

• Switch Browsers: If you are using Chrome, try Firefox or Safari. Canvas often performs differently on different engines during partial outages.
