How do I configure an external app for a course using XML?

In Course Navigation, click the Settings link.

Click the Apps tab.

To configure an app, click the View App Configurations button.

Click the Add App button.

Select the Configuration Type drop-down menu and set the configuration type to Paste XML.

Enter the name of the app in the Name field [1]. Enter the consumer key in the Consumer Key field [2] and the shared secret in the Shared Secret field [3]. This key and shared secret will be provided by the vendor or (if using the Edu App Center) provided by the website.

Note: There are some apps that do not require a consumer key or shared secret, so pay attention to the configuration directions.

Copy the XML code in the paste XML here field [1]. Click the Submit button to link the app [2].

View the linked app.

To manage the app, click the Settings icon [1]. To edit the app, click the Edit link [2]. To see the places where the app appears in Canvas, click the Placements link [3]. To delete the app, click the Delete link [4].

Note: When you click the Placements link, you may see a No Placements Enabled message. This message indicates that the app does not have any specified placements within Canvas. However, the app will still work as intended.
