As of May 20, 2026, the Class Notebook LTI and the Office 365 LTI was removed from our Canvas instance. We removed these tools because Microsoft is sunsetting them, and they will stop working on September 17, 2026.
The removal of the Class Notebook and the Office 365 LTIs will result in the loss of some automation between Microsoft and Canvas, but students can follow the steps below as workarounds to continue using the tools in their Canvas courses.
Using Microsoft Office 365 in Canvas
Submitting a file via OneDrive link
OneDrive files are shared as living documents rather than saved versions. You have the option to download the file from OneDrive and then upload to the assignment if you do not wish to share a link to the document.
In OneDrive
- Log into your University OneDrive account using your campus email and password.
- Locate your file.
- Select the Share icon and set the permissions (e.g., People in University of Missouri with the link can view).
- Copy the link.
In Canvas
- Highlight text in the Rich Content Editor (RCE). The RCE can be found in pages, assignments, discussions, and more in Canvas, allowing you to share your document(s) in multiple locations.
- Select the Link icon.
- Select External Links.
- Paste your OneDrive URL.
Directly uploading a OneDrive file to Canvas
OneDrive syncs files locally and Canvas treats the file just like any other file stored on the computer.
Note: OneDrive must be synced to your device. For Mac users, if your device is not connected to OneDrive, it can be downloaded from the
Mac App Store, or you can get the direct installer from the
MIcrosoft OneDrive Download Page.
- Open the Canvas assignment.
- Select Submit Assignment.
- Choose File Upload.
- Select Browse (or Choose File).
- Navigate to the student's OneDrive folder on their computer.
- Windows: Usually appears as OneDrive – [School Name] in File Explorer.
- Mac: Usually appears under Locations in Finder.
- Select the file and click Open.
- Complete the Canvas submission.
Using Collaborations
The Collaborations tool in Canvas will allow continued access to Google Drive (LTI 1.3). Students can use Office 365 documents by creating them in OneDrive or office.com and sharing them with their classmates manually. Office 365 files are shared as living documents rather than saved versions.
