How do I filter Conversations?
Canvas recently introduced a new page design called the New Canvas User Interface (UI). This lesson may include two images for specific steps to show the difference between the two designs. Unless otherwise indicated, the functionality and location of the components remain the same. The view available to you is determined by your institution.
You can filter the Conversations in your Inbox for easier organization, especially if you are enrolled in multiple courses. Filtering Conversations allow you to selectively view Conversations based on who is involved. If you participate in several courses, Canvas allows you to easily identify which courses your messages belong to. Follow these steps to deal with courses with a high number of students, teachers, and TAs.
