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.

My school district has changed our required Learning Outcomes for all of our courses for this school year. How can I archive the 400+ Learning Outcomes we used last school year so they're still linked to our 25-26 courses but teachers can't use them in 26-27 courses going forward?
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…
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…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
