# Canvas

Create a new assignment in Canvas. Give it an **Assignment name**, then set the number of **Points.**

Set **Submission Type** to **External Tool**, then click **Find.**

If this is the first time you're setting up and EXAMIND assignment for this Canvas course, you will be asked to create a matching course in EXAMIND. Check that the information is correct before proceeding. Pay particular attention to start date and end date, as they should match the start and end dates in Canvas.

Check **Load This Tool In A New Tab** and leave **Allowed Attempts** as **Unlimited** even if you don't intend to allow more than one attempt. The allowed attempt will be controlled in EXAMIND's UI later. Optionally assign **Due** date. If you leave **Due** date blank for now, be sure to set it later. Leave **Available from** and **Until** blank for now. We will come back to it later.

**Save** the assignment.

## Special Considerations

{% hint style="info" %}
Students extensions needs to be configured in both Canvas and EXAMIND. Refer to the [scheduling page](/v1/examind-platform/deliver/schedule.md) on how to configure extensions in EXAMIND.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
EXAMIND does not send dates to Canvas - you manage the assignment's dates in Canvas. See [Availability Dates & Your LMS](/v1/examind-platform/get-started/lms-integrated/availability-dates.md) for why.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://examind.gitbook.io/v1/examind-platform/get-started/lms-integrated/assessment-deeplink/canvas.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
