The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
Hey David,
When I first started as an admin, I went to the Canvas Admin Guide section and just started reading from the top to the bottom.
Then I went through previous InstructureCon playlists, like this one from last year.
Finally, I started reading more of the API documentation only after I had seen a few presentations from InstructureCon.
Recently, I've found it helpful to define our LMS policies and procedures so that if something comes up and I don't know how to describe a policy, procedure, or task in the system, I can research the Canvas Community and ask for help.
It probably hasn't been the fastest route but it's be a fun one.
You might consider reviewing the Administrator video guides.

I will. Thank you very much!
