Hi, 

Is there a way to hide or remove an external tool from External Tools list in the assignments area? Our tool doesn't currently have an integration with the assignments area, so we'd like for it not to be an option in the assignments area if possible. 

 

Thanks so much!

Hi @cbishop6 ,

Actually you can do this by using the API to set the not_selectable option of your LTI to true.  See External Tools - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation (instructure.com) for more info.  I've recently done this for quite a few LTIs on our instance to try to clean up that assignments list.  I made a python script to assist and take out some of the complexity of the API for this if you're interested (definitely use at your own risk though).  You will have to be an account admin to do this.
