Get Started with Canvas Connector Student Planner
The Canvas Connector Student Planner is a tool that helps students manage their coursework in Canvas by Instructure. It does this by connecting to your Canvas account and importing your courses and assignments into a Google Sheet. This makes it easy to keep track of your work, stay organized, and stay on top of your deadlines.

You will now be asked for authorization
I need authorization to see, edit, create, and delete all your Google Sheets spreadsheets because the add-on writes your course and assignment data to the spreadsheet.
I need authorization to connect to an external service for the ability to connect to the Canvas by Instructure Learning Management System API. This is where your course and assignment data is stored.
I need authorization to display and run third-party web content in prompts and sidebars inside Google applications to display intuitive error dialoging that points to specific rich text instructions on the support website.
Once you authorize Canvas Connector Student Planner, once again, from the menu bar, choose
Extensions >

Refresh from Canvas
Your assignments and courses will be loaded into the Assignments and Courses Sheets. You can then use the sheet to keep track of your work, stay organized, and stay on top of your deadlines.
