Overview
Canvas has a student view setting that allows teachers to see what their students can and cannot see in their course. Student view essentially allows teachers to view the course as a "test student" who has the same permissions as the students enrolled in the course and who has no previous course activity. Submissions, discussion posts, and other course activity can be done as the test student and then reset so they do not make permanent changes to the course. Please note that the student view option only operates within Canvas, so it will not connect to external tools, such as Turnitin, Panopto, and other tools.
