Hi,
We are exploring the use of Collaboration and currently we were able to use Google doc on it. I was wondering if anyone can help provide the steps to enable Microsoft 365 in Collaborations.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @RyanPekson,
Microsoft based collaborations are provided through the Microsoft OneDrive LTI, and this must be configured by a Canvas admin. At a high level, your admin needs to deploy the OneDrive LTI in Canvas and ensure that collaboration is enabled for OneDrive. Once that is in place, Microsoft Office files Word Excel PowerPoint become available in the Collaborations tool alongside Google Docs.
If your institution already uses OneDrive LTI and only Google appears in Collaborations, that is almost always a configuration and LTI deployment issue at the admin level rather than a course level setting.
Hope that helps. ~ Jeff
ps. and we are exploring the newer Microsoft Education LTI. My understanding is this is now the better way as the OneDrive LTI may be sunset at some point TDB. And an important clarification that often causes confusion: If the Microsoft Education LTI is installed but OneDrive or External Collaborations are not enabled in the LTI configuration, Microsoft will not appear in Collaborations even though the integration exists. This is why institutions commonly see Google but not Microsoft until the LTI settings are finalized.

I am currently experiencing an issue where a student’s assignment grade appears in Moderate, but it is not populating in the Canvas gradebook. I have verified the submission is there, but the grade is still missing from the gradebook view. Is there a known fix or additional step needed to get the grade to display properly?
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
Our "Outcomes" has not been working for about 6 months. Teachers can't build and attach Outcomes to new quizzes. Canvas said it was a rollover issue. Canvas won't fix it unless we pay them $2000 to "re-train" us for 10 hours. Has anyone had this problem and did it get fixed?
