New "History" Button in Canvas
Canvas has added a History button to the black navigation bar under the Inbox tool.

This History button provides you with direct links to the pages you've visited most recently within Canvas, regardless of which course that page is tied to.

If you lose your place or want to revisit a page you've left recently, check the History button to get back to your content quickly without having to navigate back through your Dashboard.

Reminder: Canvas Tier 1 Support Available 24/7
Canvas offers Tier 1 Support for all faculty and students 24/7, 365 days a year. If you have a question about Canvas or need help finding something, please contact Tier 1 Support first as they are able to impersonate accounts and troubleshoot directly, something our admin team is unable to do.

You can access Tier 1 Support by logging in to Canvas and clicking on the Help button located at the bottom of the gray left hand navigation bar. You can search the Canvas Guides , chat online, email, or call. The phone number for student support is: 1 (833) 820-4070

Download the Canvas Student app
Did you know that there is a Canvas mobile app for students? Download Canvas Student on your mobile device to access your courses wherever you are!

You can keep track of your course calendars, submit assignments, take quizzes, and more all from the palm of your hand! (Though we don't necessarily recommend the quiz part due to potential errors.) This is a great way to track your Canvas notifications such as when a new grade gets posted or when your instructor makes an announcement.

Just search for “Canvas Student” in Google Play or App Store!
