Canvas Global Tool Set Up

Please note: The information provided here is intended only to assist with some of the common ways our product can be integrated in this system. Our Help Site is not a comprehensive guide to use of the Canvas LMS, and our team can only assist with Credo integration; we are unable to provide support for any other aspect of Canvas's functionality. Screenshots are provided for illustrative purposes but may not exactly match your own system, particularly since navigation elements can vary depending on your version of the platform.

This documentation was updated on April 26 2018 to reflect a more recent version of Canvas. If you need our previous documentation/screenshots, please contact Credo support ([email protected]).
