How do I use Admin Analytics?

Admin Analytics and New Analytics data is pulled from Canvas Data 2 (CD2)/Data Access Platform (DAP). All data will be migrated to CD2/DAP by the end of November 2024. You can migrate your data to CD2/DAP before then by contacting your Customer Success Manager (CSM).

If enabled by your institution, you can use Admin Analytics to view, filter, and download data about Canvas usage.
