Summary

Canvas Credentials Beta environments are updated to reflect the rebrand to Parchment Award Digital Badges. Users can access Beta environments through new URLs and see the rebranded look and feel across the interface. The rebranded interface will be available in the production environment in a future release.

Beta environments with new branding and URLs are available at the following locations:

• 🇺🇸 USA: https://badges.beta.parchment.com
• 🇦🇺 Australia: https://badges.beta.parchment.au
• 🇨🇦 Canada: https://badges.beta.parchment.ca
• 🇪🇺 Europe: https://badges.beta.parchment.eu
• 🇸🇬 Singapore: https://badges.beta.parchment.sg 

Note: Beta environments are unavailable September 29–October 5, 2025, due to scheduled maintenance.

Change Benefit

This update provides customers an early preview of the rebranded interface before production changes. It allows institutions to update documentation, training, and integrations in advance, while also validating workflows and integrations under the new Parchment Award Digital Badges identity.

Additional Details

• Beta environments sync with production data every Saturday, including users, issuers, badge classes, and pathways. Assertions, groups, and auto-award objectives are excluded from these syncs.
• Customers without a Beta environment can request access by submitting a support ticket. New environments are created and populated after the next Saturday sync following approval.
