Hello Canvas Credentials Community!

In the dynamic world of educational technology, ensuring a seamless and unified experience across platforms is essential. At Instructure, we understand the significance of harmonising our products under a cohesive design language to elevate user experience. That's why we're thrilled to announce the integration of Instructure’s new global navigation wrapper into Canvas Credentials, aligning with other products to create a cohesive environment across all Instructure offerings.

This monumental effort aims to unify the product experience and user interface, establishing a shared visual framework and consistent navigation patterns across Canvas Credentials and other Instructure products. This initiative was sparked by a poignant conversation with one of our valued customers, who likened our products to roommates rather than family. Inspired by this analogy, we embarked on a journey to redefine the landscape of educational technology, aiming to create a comprehensive, accessible, and trusted platform.

Our first step in this journey is the adoption of Instructure’s new global navigation wrapper, already implemented in other Instructure products. This framework lays the groundwork for a unified user experience, ensuring familiarity and consistency across all Instructure platforms. By embracing this framework, Canvas Credentials enhances interoperability and simplifies navigation for users accustomed to other Instructure products.

The implementation of this global framework brings several enhancements tailored to the needs of educators and learners alike:

1. Unified Design Language: By implementing a global framework, we ensure visual consistency across Canvas Credentials and other Instructure products, fostering an intuitive and user-friendly experience for all users.

2. Streamlined Navigation: Navigation menus and interfaces have been redesigned with updated color schemes, improving clarity and accessibility. User profiles and notifications now open as trays, providing a seamless browsing experience.
