Want to learn about a feature gets on the roadmap and the product process? In the links below, learn about the feature lifecycle, get product insights, participate in feature idea conversations, provide feedback about beta features, and view details of recent releases.
Canvas teams are continually updating the roadmap and noting features that are coming in subsequent quarters.
Roadmap
The roadmap indicates the targeted month a feature should be released and is updated monthly. Dates are always subject to change.
Discovery Conversations
Engage with the product team on projects and initiatives in the early stages of the software development process. Read their blog posts and engage in their requests for feedback! Engagement is one part of the Instructure feature development process.
Feature Previews
Some features are identified as feature previews, which provide early access to customers who want to actively participate in the development process. Once the core concept of the feature has been developed, the feature will be available to all Canvas customers at a future date.
Our product teams build feature previews in real time, and updates incorporate user feedback as often as every two weeks. Details about feature updates and process are posted in the feature's user group. Look for the [Preview] identifier next to these features in the roadmap.
Roadmap Archive
Instructure product features are made available as part of release notes. For a complete list of all previously released features, please see the Canvas release notes and the additional product release notes.
These features are currently in development and are targeted to be released within the indicated month. Roadmap items are subject to change. Last updated 2021-09-20.
