The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
Hi All, I'm a new Canvas admin and I recently went through the process of registering a new user account in Catalog. However, the process as I experienced it seemed to be missing an email verification step.
After enrolling in a course and entering my info on the "Create An Account" page, the workflow brought me to a "Ready to Begin" page with the "Go To Course" button highlighted (screenshot below). When I clicked Go To Course, it took me to our Canvas LMS's login page—but I didn't know my login info yet.
The issue: nowhere in the process was it communicated that I needed to check my email for verification and to set up my password. In that respect, what I saw differed from the process that's documented in this community post, which shows what appears to be a page or pop-up in the process informing the user of the confirmation email (screenshot below).
It was a confusing workflow without that confirmation email notification! I was surprised that I couldn't find any posts about the issue in the community forums. That led me to wonder... is this just happening in our Canvas Catalog instance? Or could it be a brand new issue? At first I thought maybe my browser blocked the pop-up, but when I went through the process again I got the same result, and there appeared to be no blocked pop-ups.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can lend their insight!
