[ARCHIVED] Remove an observer

[sarreguin]

How do I remove an observer for a student?  I see that I am observing a student, but I do not see the option to stop observing the student.

Hi! This is something that the district/school admin can do! If you submit a ticket (How do I get help with Canvas?), explain what you’d like to do.

Okay, so this is fine IN THEORY but in practice-- I've been trying to get rid of my observer status for over a year now.  There needs to be a way to do this ourselves.

Can you explain (or link me to the directions) to do this as the administrator?

Hi! Starting on March 17, you'll be able to remove observed students from your Observer account! You can read about the details in the Canvas Deploy Notes (2021-03-17). 🎉
