Help Desk - Canvas Informational Websites for Support

This document contains some useful links for Help Desk agents assisting callers with Canvas.

Support

The KnowledgeBase (KB) contains some support information on Canvas, but it is by no means exhaustive. If you are unable to find information on a particular issue or topic in the KB, you can consult external resources:

  • The Canvas Community: Canvas's vendor site which contains extensive documentation on Canvas how-tos
  • Canvas Release Notes: Information about new features can be found here (Canvas has a three-week development cycle)
  • Other universities have created documentation on Canvas, which can be relevant to our needs—Googling particular issues should bring up other universities' sites and KBs.
