Inbox

I want to send a message to a student privately. How do I do that in Canvas? I can only see the option to send a message to a whole course or section.

Create a new message, select the course, start typing the student's name, and select it.

Hello armstronga...

In addition to the information  @cindi_kirby  gave you this afternoon, I wanted to also share with you the Guide that walks you through these steps: How do I send a message to a user in a course in the Inbox as an instructor?.

I hope this extra resource will be of help to you, Anna.  Sing out if you have any other questions about this.  Thanks...stay safe, be well.
