How do I view Important Dates as an observer?

This lesson applies to users at institutions that have enabled the Canvas for Elementary user interface.

You can view assignments, discussions, quizzes, and events that your instructor has marked as important in the Important Dates sidebar in the Homeroom.

View Important Dates

In the Homeroom [1], you can view assignments, discussions, quizzes, and events that your student's instructor has marked as important in the Important Dates sidebar [2].

If you are observing more than one student, only the selected student's important dates display. To switch between students, use the Observing drop-down menu [3].

Items in the Important Dates sidebar are organized by the associated due date or event date [4].

Each item displays an icon with the event or assignment type [5] as well as the subject name [6], and item name [7].

To view item details, click the item's name [8].
