To turn on nightly sync in Canvas, you need to access the Grade Sync Utilities area and activate the relevant toggle button.
Here's a breakdown of the process based on the information provided:
Steps to Enable Nightly Sync
- Navigate to Grade Sync Utilities: Locate and open the Grade Sync Utilities section within your Canvas interface. The exact location might vary slightly depending on your institution's setup, but it's the specific area dedicated to managing grade synchronization features.
- Click the Nightly Sync Toggle Button: Once inside Grade Sync Utilities, look for the "Nightly Sync" option. Next to this option, there will be a toggle button. Click this button to enable the nightly sync feature.
Important Considerations
It's crucial to understand that the availability of the nightly sync option depends on your institution's configuration:
- Institutional Requirement: The nightly sync feature must first be enabled for your entire institution by their Canvas Customer Success Manager (CSM).
- Contacting Your Admin: If you go to Grade Sync Utilities but do not see the "Nightly Sync" toggle button available, it means the feature has not been enabled at the institutional level. In this case, you should contact your institution's administrator. They can verify if the feature is available or needs to be requested.
In summary, the process is straightforward once you are in the correct utility area, provided the feature is already enabled for your institution.
