How do I manage new feature in my Canvas course

Feature tags help identify the state of each feature. A feature with no label [1] means the feature is stable and ready for use in your production environment.  Features may also include a beta tag [2], which means the feature is available for use in your production environment but is still being tested for usability and accessibility behavior. Enabling a beta feature may create unintended behavior within your Canvas account.

Note: Occasionally features may include a Development tag, which means the feature is only available for testing in your beta environment; it is not available in your production environment.

If a feature is turned on by your admin, the feature will be grayed out and set to On. Your course will be required to use this feature.

If a feature is Allowed by your admin, you can choose how you want to manage the feature for your course. The feature will display two options:

1. On: Toggle this button to turn on this feature for your course.
2. Off: By default, the feature will be off. Do not toggle this button if you do not want to enable this feature for your course. This option is good for features that you are not yet comfortable allowing in your course, or features that appear within a semester and you do not want to distract students from the course.

If a feature that was previously made available by your admin has been turned off, the feature will be grayed out and set to Off. Contact your admin for more information about this change.
