How do I schedule a new year rollover for a Canvas ProgressBook integration?
As an admin, you can schedule Canvas ProgressBook integration rollovers at the account level. You can schedule data set rollovers (most commonly during the summer) that automatically pause and resume schedules around end-of-year processes in ProgressBook.
Notes:
- If your institution has any Change Requests that need to be performed during your rollover, please create a case with Canvas Support and have it escalated to the SIS Team queue. For example, you can request changes to course or section naming conventions, or you can request new login data if you are changing your Single Sign On (SSO) login method.
- Please make sure you are setting your Sync Pause Date to be at least 1 day before you roll over to your new school year in [SISs Name], and your Sync Resume Date to be at least 1 day after you have completed your rollover in [SISs Name]. For example, if you are planning to roll over to your new school year in [SISs Name] from 2024-06-24 to 2024-06-29, you will want to have your Sync Pause Date be 2024-06-23 or earlier, and your Sync Resume Date be 2024-06-30 or later. This is to avoid any unintended data deletions and duplications in Canvas.
