Inbox

What is the Inbox?

The Inbox is a messaging tool used to communicate with a course, a group, an individual student, or a group of students. You can use the Inbox to communicate with others in your course.
Notes:
Users display in the Inbox once they have an active enrollment in the course, and users cannot join a course unless it is published.
Once a course has concluded and its term date has passed, you can no longer message students in that course.

Video overviews reflect current feature functionality in Canvas.

They are updated based on workflow changes, not on minor or non-functional interface enhancements.

The Canvas interface for NUS may display differently than shown in this video, but the functionality is the same.
