So for new schools connecting to Canvas<\/a> for the first time from QuickSchools<\/a>, Canvas has added a new security feature, where you have to authorize external systems for integration (via a Developer Key). Remember that the integration from QuickSchools to Canvas only works for the paid version of Canvas for schools (not the free version for teachers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enabling the Developer Key<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Canvas, go to \u201cAdmin<\/em>\u201d > \u201cDeveloper Keys<\/em>\u201d and click on the \u201cInherited<\/em>\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in QuickSchools, once the app is installed and enabled from the App Store<\/a>, go to the Canvas App and click on the \u201cConnect to Canvas<\/em>\u201d button:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If you are already logged into Canvas, the systems will connect automatically. Otherwise, the system will ask you to log into Canvas from QuickSchools. And that\u2019s it. You should see the following screen:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
