Summary

When adding LTI 1.1 tools, admins are redirected to the Legacy Apps page to complete the installation. Additionally, if a selected LTI 1.3 tool on the Discover page lacks configuration details, the Install App modal defaults to the manual installation method.

Change Benefit

This update streamlines the installation process for LTI tools by guiding admins to the correct setup page and reducing confusion when configuration details are missing.

Feature Workflow

Canvas Apps: Install 1.1 LTI

When admins select the 1.1 LTI version radio button, text displays redirecting to the legacy apps page.

Canvas Apps: Install 1.3 LTI

LTI 1.3 tools without configuration details default to manual installation.
