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

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

Users in the test environment will see a pink bar across the bottom of the screen indicating the user is in a Canvas Test Installation. Test environments are reset every three weeks after the production release, and any changes you make in your test environment will be reset. If you want to save any course content created in your test environment, you can export your course.

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

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