Summary
When the LTI Deep Linking Line Items on Assignment Edit Page feature option is enabled, LTI 1.3 tools can display a deep linking workflow on the Assignment edit page.

Change Benefit
This change allows instructors to launch a third-party tool before linking to select a specific content item or resource to attach.
Feature Workflow
In Account Settings, locate the LTI Deep Linking Line Items on Assignment edit page feature option.
Click Enable.
Note: Due to limited third-party tools supporting the placement at the time of this Deploy Note, images are not available to display the view in the Assignment Edit page.
Additional Details
To enable the placement, third-party tools need to have this placement added to the Developer Key. Additionally, applications with Assignment Selection placement available on developer keys already enabled, may be affected.
