Unable to find child to "Pair with observer"

[Haroldpark]

Hello - I'm trying to find a student pairing code so I can add my child to my canvas account.  However, when I go to my account and then settings, the option to "Pair with observer" is not there - how can I add my child then?

Thank you.

@Haroldpark Welcome! You need to have the child generate the pairing code (or if's been enabled, the teacher of your child) and then use the code in the Observing screen to link the child to your account.

Students will need to use these instructions to generate the code.
