Class Notebook LTI and the Office 365 LTI removal from Canvas

As of May 20, 2026, the Class Notebook LTI and the Office 365 LTI will be removed from our Canvas instance. The removal of these tools will result in the loss of some automation between Microsoft and Canvas. 

Instructors who would like to continue using these tools should follow the steps below to use Microsoft in their Canvas course. 

Using a OneNote class notebook in Canvas

Creating a new class notebook

1. Go to One Note's class notebook and sign in with your UM System credentials. 
2. Select Create a Class Notebook.
3. Follow the wizard to Create a Class Notebook.
4. Step 4 of the wizard will ask you to add student names. Go to People in your Canvas course navigation menu to get the names of your students and add them to the notebook. We recommend searching by students’ last names or email addresses. 
5. Continue through the wizard and customize the notebook as needed for your course.
6. Select Done to complete the creation of your class notebook. 

Sharing your class notebook with students

1. Once your notebook is created, return to One Note's class notebook.
2. Select Manage notebooks.
3. Select the name of the notebook you want to share. 
4. Find the Notebook link and select Copy. 
5. Open your Canvas course and share the class notebook link on a page, announcement, or pinned class discussion. 

Using Microsoft Office 365 in Canvas

Sharing Files via OneDrive Links 

OneDrive files are shared as living documents rather than saved versions. 

In OneDrive

1. Locate your file.
2. Select the Share icon and set the permissions (e.g., People in University of Missouri with the link can view).
3. Copy the link.

In Canvas

1. 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. 
2. Select the Link icon.
3. Select External Links.
4. Paste your OneDrive URL.

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.
