CANVAS
Inbox Overview
The Inbox tool in Canvas displays all messages sent and received within Canvas. View messages by course to see messages from a specific group of students.
Note: Communications via the Inbox are not the same as email. These messages are internal Canvas messages from user-to-user. However, in most cases, the messages will be relayed to the users via a notification to their GMail address. The Canvas Inbox acts as a storage repository for messages.
Sending Messages
Message other students or an entire class using Inbox. Recipients will receive email notifications and Canvas notifications of your message. Messages can also include attachments. Click the Compose a new message icon in the Inbox toolbar to get started.
Viewing and Replying to Messages
