Assignment Sync

You can create graded Canvas assignments that are deep links (assignment-specific links) into the corresponding Perusall assignment. Or, you can create deep links to your Perusall course library items and assignments without syncing them to your Canvas gradebook.

Import Canvas Pages and Files

You can import a Canvas Page or document into Perusall by navigating to Course home > Library > Add content. Then, select Page from Canvas or Document from Canvas.

Note: Similar to uploading documents from websites, Perusall imports a "snapshot" of the Canvas Page as it exists at the time of import. If you later change the Page in Canvas, that change will not be reflected in Perusall. You can also delete the Page in Canvas without affecting the content in Perusall.
