How do I view my imported and shared resources in Commons?

You can easily view all the resources you have imported or shared from Commons in one place.

Notes:

  • If you need to remove a resource imported through Commons, navigate to the corresponding area in your course and delete it there. For example, to remove an imported assignment, navigate to the Assignments Index Page in your course to delete the assignment from the list.
  • To enable Commons in your Canvas instance, please contact your Customer Success Manager.
  • Commons is available in all Free for Teacher (FFT) accounts. Free for Teacher users are limited to finding, importing, and sharing public resources.
  • Commons currently does not support sharing/importing question banks associated with a quiz.
  • New Quizzes cannot be imported from Commons.
