Canvas for Elementary Homeroom Subjects
Canvas for Elementary is currently an opt-in feature and may not be available for your institution. For more information, please see Canvas Release: Canvas for Elementary.
Students with an active enrollment in a Canvas for Elementary course can view all subjects in the app. This change provides consistency between the web and mobile app versions of Canvas.
Assignments
Student Annotation Submission Type
The Student Annotation submission type is supported in the Canvas app. This change provides consistency between the web and mobile app versions of Canvas and allows students to complete student annotation submissions using a mobile device.
If an assignment supports multiple assignment types, the Annotation type displays in the list of available options.

Text Entry Drafts
Text entry submissions can be saved as a draft in the Canvas app. This change allows students to start creating a text entry submission and return to the app later. The content is retained as a draft until the text is submitted.
