How do I create a message for a sub-account?
Impact messages can be assigned to sub-accounts in your learning application. By assigning sub-accounts to a message, you control which audience sees your message.
Note: This feature is only available to Canvas customers.

You can search for sub-accounts using the Search field [1] or you can select the admin account [2] to locate the sub-account.

Publish Your Message
Now that your message content and settings are all set up, you can continue by:
- Publishing your message: using the Publish button.
