How do I view the To-Do List in the Canvas app on my Android device?
The To-Do List displays course to-do items to help you easily manage tasks across all of your courses.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
You can also view the To-Do List by adding a Canvas widget to your Android device.
Notes:
- You can add personal to-do items in the app. However, to-do items created in the app only display in the Calendar.
- The To-Do list displays items that are due within the next seven days.
Open To-Do List
In the Navigation Bar, tap the To Do icon.
View To-Do List
The To-Do List gives you a quick view of upcoming graded assignments, quizzes, and discussions that you have not yet completed. Each item is color-coordinated according to course and displays an icon for its activity type: discussion, quiz, or assignment.
Note: Users who are using the Canvas app with an instructor role will see To-Do notifications about grading assignments.
