As an admin in Canvas Career, syncable objects serve as your central hub for managing and reusing course content and activities.
Source Material storage is separated from Syncable Objects to provide distinct file management:
- For existing accounts, the Source Materials panel displays empty by design.
- Source Material uploads are stored in a dedicated folder and no longer display in the Syncable Objects file list.
- Previously uploaded files remain accessible in the Files tab of Syncable Objects.
Notes:
- Content is not added automatically. You can populate syncable objects by manually adding items either by copying existing content, creating new objects, or using IgniteAI.
- Source Material uploads are stored in the Source Material files folder.
