HOST PERMISSIONS CHANGE To allow all Canvas LMS users on a custom domain to use this without needing to request and wait for the next update, the host permissions have been changed to allow all domains optionally.

By default, the Instructure hosted Canvas LMS domains should work upon installation. To ensure these features aren't accidentally applied to a website that isn't the Canvas LMS, all other domains are permitted as optional. To use this extension with a custom domain, you will need to update the settings on the extension to list it as a specific approved site or when clicked.

This Chrome extension modifies and adds to the Canvas LMS GUI to improve productivity and functionality for users. Most features are targeted to support admins and/or teachers, but some features are useful to all users.

It adds additional information that may be useful to users by adding new elements with details that are in the source code, but not currently visible and/or from Canvas LMS API calls. It also adds additional features like search functionalities on pages without a native search/filter.

Users are able to control which features they want to use through the options. This allows them to disable features they don't want and/or that may conflict with other settings/customizations they have on their instance of Canvas LMS.

Wonderful extension, it is very useful and saves a lot of time!

This amazing extension allows you to do a number of things that I really wish were incorporated into Canvas. I use it to disaggregate assignments by question using the Submission Details submenu. This allows me to determine how well the class did on particular questions as well as to compare the averages of different sections for easier and more precise grade normalization.

Amazing extension! I was just able to move around my rubric sections (which Canvas can't do!), and it adds on things like jumping to certain sections. Lovely tool!
