Learn how to view student grades and course content in Cloud Canvas.

Note: Tools in Cloud Canvas are very similar to the tools in Enterprise Canvas, but the layout is a bit different, particularly the navigation placement.

While guardians and other observers can access the Canvas calendar and inbox, those features will be primarily utilized within StrongMind Central.
