Follow these steps to sync your current class roster in Canvas with your Canvas class roster in Writable.

  1. Log into your Canvas account.

  2. Select the Canvas course in which you would like to sync with Writable.

  3. Click on the 'Writable' link located on the left navigation menu.

    ❗Note: If your Canvas administrator has hidden the 'Writable' link from the left navigation menu, please click on the Writable assignment link from within the Canvas course.

  4. Click on the 'Classes' located on the Writable navigation menu. You’ll see all of your imported Canvas courses/sections listed with the Canvas icon.

  5. Click a class to expand the roster and confirm that all students are enrolled in the correct classes.

    Student names listed in blue text indicates students are active in the class, because they have accessed Writable from Canvas. However, if they have not launched the Writable assignment from Canvas, their names will appear in gray text. This indicates they are inactive in Writable.

    💡Tip! As you add or remove students from your Canvas rosters, they will be updated in Writable. Please log out and log back in if you do not see your rosters update.
