Disclaimers

Canvas frequently makes updates to its platform, which could impact the information/guidance included here. We will always seek to update this resource ASAP when this happens. The same point applies to other learning technology systems that are referred to in this resource (e.g. Panopto, Padlet, Kortext, Leganto).
The guidance given here is intended to be useful to all producers/editors of content in Canvas. It is possible that some of the suggested processes may not be fully relevant to you, depending on the situation (e.g. your department may do things slightly differently to how things are presented here).
