How do I access the Canvas beta environment as an instructor?

To log in to your beta environment, type [organization name].beta.instructure.com into the URL field.

Users in the beta environment will see a pink bar across the bottom of the screen indicating the user is in a Canvas Test Installation. Beta environments reset every Saturday and any content created in this environment will be deleted. If you want to save any course content created in your beta environment, you can export your course.

Note: To hide the pink bar across the bottom of your screen, double-click on the words Canvas Test Installation.

Some new features may be released as opt-in only and will not appear until you enable them in your beta environment. You can view these features in the Feature Options tab within Course Settings. Learn how to manage new features for an individual course.
