Canvas Release User Summaries

Canvas Release User Summaries

This page contains feature summaries for each user role as described in each Canvas release or deploy. 

Default Features

Default features affect all Canvas users. If enabled in the Help Menu, the Release Notes UI feature displays links to these features.

Optional Features

The use of optional features varies across institutions and is only distributed to Canvas admins.

All Canvas Features by User Role (organized by release/deploy date)

  • Details for all default features by user role within a release/deploy
  • Details for optional features by user role within a release/deploy
  • Relevant release/deploy links are provided in the Releases section of the Global Navigation Help Menu (enabled via the Release Notes feature option)

Production of separate Canvas User Summary pages for Observers/Students and Instructors along with the Optional Features Distribution Templates for all users has been archived as of May 2022. All user role information is now available in the Canvas Features by User Role documentation above. 

Because of Canvas Community age guidelines, only students over the age of 16 are able to participate in the Community. Canvas admins and observers/parents are welcome to share feature updates with younger students when appropriate.
