Canvas Apps • Overview
What is Canvas Apps?
Canvas Apps is a new feature designed to streamline app integration and management for Canvas root admins. It offers a centralized location to discover, configure, and manage LTI 1.3 tools, simplifying the process and providing greater visibility into app permissions and access.
What is a Feature Preview?
As a reminder, our feature previews are feature options that are in active development. Early adopters who opt in to the feature and join the Community user group can help improve the feature through direct feedback. Our goal is to learn from the experts who are using these feature options in their live schools so that we can iterate quickly to improve the feature based on the feedback provided. It is important to keep in mind that additional updates about this feature will be available in the User Group as enhancements may be released outside the Canvas Deploy Notes cadence. When this feature option is available for general use and no longer a feature preview, the feature option will be announced in the Canvas Release Notes.
I’m excited to give this feature a try! How do I opt in?
The Canvas Apps feature option is an account level option which is turned on by default in your beta environment. When enabled you will see a top level “Apps” page link on the Account Navigation bar. The feature flag is called “LTI Apps Page” and can be toggled off if you wish to opt out (we’d love to hear about why you decided to opt out in the Canvas Apps User Group!)
How do I give feedback about my experience?
Please join us in the Canvas Apps User Group in the Canvas Community. We want to hear all feedback that you have to provide, so please feel free to share positive insights, constructive criticisms, and anything in between. Your honest and candid feedback will help drive our future development to make this feature the best it can be. Our product team will be watching this space to respond to questions and to understand use cases that provide opportunities for improvement. We can’t wait to hear about your experiences with this awesome new feature!
