Managing Notifications in Canvas

Created by Becky Shiring, Modified on Fri, 16 Jun, 2023 at 10:50 AM by Becky Shiring

Canvas includes a set of default notification settings you can receive for your courses. However, you can change the default settings by setting your own notification settings. These settings only apply to you; they are not used to control how course updates are sent to other users. To learn more about each notification, default settings, and notification triggers, view the Canvas Notifications resource document.


Notifications are sent as one of four delivery types: notify me right away, daily summary, weekly summary, or don't send. If you change a setting, the change is made immediately to your account.  


Notification settings apply to all of your courses unless you set notification settings for individual courses.
