Hello,

I understand that legacy analytics was removed in Canvas with the 2205-07-19 release: https://community.instructure.com/en/discussion/647753/canvas-release-notes-2025-07-19#deprecation-of-legacy-course-analytics

I also understand that the New Analytics isn't available in the self-hosted open source edition: https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms/wiki/FAQ

That leaves a couple questions:

1. Anything we can do to get "Analytics" option back on our left nav?

2. If not, then do we still need to include gems/plugins/analytics from https://github.com/instructure/analytics when we build and compile Canvas? Seems like that is no longer needed if legacy analytics was removed and we'd be safe to exclude it.

Thanks!
