Resolution
Collaborations in Canvas allow multiple users to work on the same document or file simultaneously. To begin using collaborations in Canvas, click the
Collaborations
tab in your course navigation or
Groups navigation
.
You must add each user or group as a "collaborator" when creating a collaboration in order for them to have access
(up to 50 users per collaboration).
Each collaborator will need a Google account and must
connect their Google Drive as a registered service in Canvas
. If you experience any issues with your registered Google Drive, review the KB article for instructions on
troubleshooting
