[ARCHIVED] Modifying the View Settings on an External Assignment?

[DeletedUser]

I am using Google Cloud Docs with my students, who are using Chromebooks.  When they view the assignment, they report that there isn't enough vertical space to make the cloud Google Doc easily useable.  I assume cloud docs is using an iframe, but I'm not sure.  Is there a way to modify the view settings on an external assignment?

Hi  @DeletedUser  Welcome to the Canvas Community. I'm no expert on using Google within Canvas, but you should be able to edit the original assignment to enable the Load in a new tab checkbox underneath where you input the original external tool.  This is illustrated here under the Configure External Tool heading: How do I add an assignment using an external app?   That should do it.

I hope this helps, Zach.
