There are some other personal settings within Canvas that are not located on the Profile<\/strong> page. Let’s take a look at those next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. In Global Navigation, click the Account<\/strong> link.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Select Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    On the Settings<\/strong> screen, you will find four sections: UserName’s Settings<\/strong> (where UserName is your own name), Web Services<\/strong>, Approved Integrations<\/strong>, and Feature Options<\/strong>. We are only going to take a look at the first and the fourth sections (ignoring Web Services and Approved Integrations).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Near the top right-hand corner of the Settings<\/strong> page, click on the Edit Settings<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Edit any of the items available such as Pronouns<\/strong>, Default Email<\/strong>, Language<\/strong>, and\/or Time Zone<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Click the Update Settings<\/strong> button to confirm your choices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Navigate to the bottom of your Settings<\/strong> page. Look at the Feature Options<\/strong> section. There are a variety of personal Feature Options you can enable\/disable for your Canvas account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Click the ><\/strong> icon under the Feature<\/strong> column to read a short description of what the specific Feature Option is\/does.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Click the red \u274c or the \u2705 green checkmark icons under the State<\/strong> column to set a particular Feature Option as Enabled<\/strong>\/Disabled<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Finally, on the top right-hand corner of the Settings screen, you\u2019ll find a section on Ways to Contact<\/strong>. In this area, you can add an additional e-mail address (such as a personal e-mail address). Additional e-mail addresses added here can be set up to receive Canvas notifications similar to receiving Canvas notifications to your CCS e-mail address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
