Canvas lets you view notification items in your Canvas courses. Notifications gives you an overview of all course notifications such as changes to an assignment due date, newly created assignment, course announcement, or a reply to a subscribed discussion. You can interact directly with any items that appear within notifications.
You can also set Notification Preferences in the app to receive push notifications for Canvas activity on your mobile phone.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
You can also view notifications by adding a Canvas widget to your Android device.
