You can set notification preferences in the Canvas app to receive updates about your Canvas courses. Selected updates are push notifications, meaning notifications are sent to you even if you have not opened the Canvas app. You can choose to set notifications for specific contact methods, or you can set notifications for all devices.

Contact methods in the Canvas app are the same methods added to your Profile and User Settings in the browser version of Canvas.

Note: Because mobile notifications are currently limited, mobile preferences override preferences in the browser version of Canvas. Additionally, daily and weekly notifications are not currently available in the app.

Open User Menu In the Dashboard, tap the User Menu icon.

Open Settings Tap the Settings link.

Open Notifications Tap the Notifications link.

Select Communication Channel In the Notifications drop-down menu [1], tap the communication channel where you want to set notifications [2].

Set Notifications for All Devices If you want to set notifications for all your devices, tap the For All Devices option.

Set Notification Preference Notifications are organized into notification groups. To collapse and expand groups, toggle the group arrow [1].

To enable a notification, tap the checkbox for the notification [2]. Checkbox notifications are sent ASAP.

To disable a notification, make sure the checkbox is not selected [3]. Checkboxes without a check mark are never sent.
