# Feedback Machines: Canvas Setup

This guide is for **institution IT or Canvas administrators**. It covers the one-time installation of the Feedback Machines LTI tool at the Canvas account level. Once it's installed, instructors can [enable Feedback Machines in their own courses](/v1/feedback-machines/get-started/using-canvas.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
Feedback Machines is a **separate product** from the EXAMIND Platform and has its **own** Canvas LTI integration. Installing one does not install the other.
{% endhint %}

## Install the LTI tool

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Create an LTI developer key

In Canvas, go to **Admin → Developer Keys** and select **+ LTI Key**.

* **Key Name:** `Feedback Machines`
* **Method:** `Enter URL`
* **JSON / Configuration URL:** `https://lti.feedbackmachines.com/lti/register/canvas`

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Set the placement

Edit the key and, under **Manual Entry**, set the placement to **Course Navigation**. Save.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Turn the key ON

New developer keys default to **OFF**. Switch the Feedback Machines key state to **ON**.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Install the app by Client ID

Copy the **Client ID** shown for the developer key. Then go to **Settings → Apps**, click **+ App**, choose **By Client ID** as the configuration type, paste the Client ID, and confirm the installation.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Send your registration details to EXAMIND

So we can finish the integration on our side, email the following to <support@examind.io>:

* Your **production** Canvas instance URL
* Your **test** Canvas instance URL (if you have one)
* Whether your Canvas is **self-hosted** or on **Instructure Cloud**
* The **Client ID** generated above

We'll complete the platform registration and confirm when it's ready to test.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Next step

Once installation is confirmed, instructors can [enable Feedback Machines in their course and link a class](/v1/feedback-machines/get-started/using-canvas.md).

## 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/it-administration/lms-integrations/feedback-machines-canvas-setup.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.
