Canvas Catalog Guide

How do I sync Canvas enrollment changes to Catalog?

As a Canvas Catalog admin, you can set your Catalog account to sync Canvas enrollment changes. When you sync your Catalog account to Canvas, Catalog updates enrollment data when enrollments are added to or removed from Canvas.

By default, a Catalog account does not sync Canvas enrollment changes.

Note: If an enrollment was created through Catalog, deleting the section in Canvas removes the enrollment in Catalog.

Open Admin

Click the User Name drop-down menu [1]. Then, click the Admin link [2].

Open Catalogs

Click the Catalogs tab.

Select Catalog

Click the name of the root catalog.

View Catalog Info

In the Catalog settings drop-down menu, the Catalog Info page displays by default.

Enable Canvas Enrollment Sync

To sync Canvas enrollment changes to Catalog, click the Sync Canvas enrollment changes to Catalog toggle on.

Notes:

This setting only controls whether Catalog listens to and processes the enrollment_created live event from Canvas.
It does not apply to enrollment edits, deletions, or other changes.
Even when the setting is turned off, Canvas may still send live events (such as deletions), and Catalog might process them depending on availability and system state.

Save Catalog Info

Click the Save button.
