How do I view my institution's Canvas Aspen integration rostering sync history?

If your institution has configured an integration with Canvas and your SIS, you can view your institution's SIS integration sync history in the SIS Integration page.  

The Rostering Jobs list displays all completed, failed, and in-progress SIS sync jobs. If a SIS sync imports with errors, you can view rostering change details to identify the error. You can also download the rostering jobs list as a CSV file.
