  1. Once you’ve started a new Canvas assignment and filled in the details, scroll down to Submission Type. Select External Tool and then choose Adobe Express.

  2. You’ll be signed in to Adobe Express using your district credentials, and a browser window will come up. If you’ve used Adobe Express before, your projects will be listed in the window.

  3. Choose an existing file from your Adobe Express library. If you want to make additional edits, click Edit.

  4. Once your file is ready, return to Canvas and click on the thumbnail for the file you want to assign to students. Click attach.

  5. Save and publish your Canvas assignment.

  6. You (and your students) will see the Adobe Express file as an attachment on the published Canvas assignment.

  7. When your students view their Canvas assignment, they will have the option to open a copy of your attachment with Open Adobe Express—think of it like a template they can start from.

  8. When they are ready to submit the project, they click Share and Turn in to Canvas.
