Note: this task will require administrator permissions in Canvas, but only needs to be completed once per organization.
This guide will walk you through enabling SSO with Pocket Prep in your Canvas instance. Once you have SSO enabled, students and faculty will both be able to automatically login to Pocket Prep via a link in course navigation. You will also have the ability to choose which courses to display the SSO link on.
