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.
I am brand new to Canvas. I thought I published my course. The published button is green and checked. But my trial student couldn't login.
HI @njs219 Welcome to the canvas Community, and apologies for taking so long to get back to you.
I assume that you have sorted out this challenge. I'm pleased that the green 'published' button was showing which indicates you were doing all of the right things.
I'm wondering if the dates were set into the future so the test student wasn't able to access the course.
Sing out if you need a hand.
