Canvas Instructor Quick Setup

After Perusall has been installed by your admin, instructors can follow these steps to set up your Canvas-linked Perusall course.

1. In your Canvas course, navigate to Settings > Navigation, locate Perusall 1.3 (it may be towards the bottom of the list).
2. Click three dots beside Perusall 1.3, and select Enable, or click and drag it to the list of active navigation options, and Save.
3. Refresh your page, and click on Perusall 1.3 in the left navigation to create your Perusall course.

By default, when you create an assignment in Perusall, we will automatically make a corresponding Canvas Assignment and grade item for each Perusall assignment in your Canvas course gradebook that will sync based on your Perusall course settings, so you will not need to make more Perusall links in your Canvas course.  Alternatively, you can make assignment-specific links (called deep links).
