How do I select personal pronouns in my user account as an observer?

[#1]

If enabled by your student's school, you can select personal pronouns to add to your user account. Personal pronouns display after your name in various areas in Canvas, including:

• Inbox
• People Page
• User Navigation Menu
• User Profile Page
• User Settings Page

Notes:

• If you cannot view pronouns in your User Settings, your student's school has not enabled this feature.
• LTI tools, such as New Quizzes and Analytics, do not currently support displaying pronouns.

Open Account Settings

Edit Settings

Select Pronouns

In the Pronouns drop-down menu, select your personal pronouns.

Notes:
