How do I view Notifications in the Student app on my iOS device?
Canvas lets you view Notification items in your Canvas courses. Notifications gives you an overview of all course notifications such as changes to an assignment due date, newly created assignment, course announcement, or a reply to a subscribed discussion. You can interact directly with any items that appear within notifications.
You can also set Notification Preferences in the app to receive push notifications for Canvas activity on your mobile phone.

How do I add DocViewer annotations in the Teacher app on my iOS device?
Crocodoc is a tool that allows instructor and peer review annotations on online assignment submissions in Canvas. When students submit an assignment, the file is uploaded as an assignment submission to SpeedGrader. In the SpeedGrader app, you can add point comments on any document types that support Crocodoc annotations.
If a student submits a file that is not compatible with Crocodoc, the document previewer will still display the file, but Crocodoc markup and commenting will not be available.
Canvas supports .doc/.docx, .ppt/.pptx, and .pdf Crocodoc file formats (.xls/.xlsx is not available at this time).
The Crocodoc images for this lesson are shown in landscape mode, which may be easier to use on the Android device.
Note: Files over 100MB and password-protected files will not be converted by Crocodoc.

How do I create a discussion in the Student app on my Android device?
Instructors can create new Discussions using the Canvas app. The app also supports draft state, so as an instructor, you can create a discussion and publish it at a later date. However, once a discussion is published, it cannot be unpublished in the app.
If an instructor allows, students may be able to create new Discussions. However, student discussions are always published immediately to the course. If you are student and you cannot create a discussion, your instructor has restricted this feature.
The images in this lesson are shown for a phone display, but unless otherwise noted, tablet displays mirror the same steps.
