How do I view Collaborations as an observer?
If you've been invited to join a collaboration by an instructor, you can access the collaboration from Canvas. You can also view collaboration files from within your online account associated with the collaboration type (OneDrive or Google Drive).
Notes:
- You cannot view, join, or participate in a collaboration unless invited by an instructor.
- Depending on your student's school's preference, your Collaborations page may not match the images shown in this lesson. However, the functionality of the page remains the same.
