"How can I view Canvas SMTP settings? Also, I want to know if email sending in Canvas test environment works the same as in the original."
Hi @AdminCanvasIC,
Are you running a self-hosted open-source Canvas instance, or are you asking about the Instructure-hosted Canvas cloud instances? I don't believe you can make any changes to Canvas cloud instances. Open-source Canvas I believe has some config options for mail, but before I go digging to try to find documentation, it would be handy to know which thing you're asking about.
Instructure-hosted test/beta instances will generally not send email notifications out as far as I know, since they are used for testing and could generate a lot of erroneous messages to real users.
Hope to hear back from you soon!

We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
