Troubleshooting

→ My students don't match between Canvas and CampusKnot.
Check that your Canvas roster matches your CampusKnot student list. If they don't line up, get the steps to mass update a roster on CampusKnot.

→ My columns don't match up.
Upload one grade column per student. Extra columns cause the import to misalign.

→ This isn't working!
