Optional: To verify that your assignments were synced to Canvas, click Assignments.

A student using one of the assignment links from Canvas is signed in to WebAssign and directed to the correct assignment.

Note The student must open each assignment from Canvas.

As an instructor, when you click one of these links, you are signed in to WebAssign but not directed to the assignment.

By default, your synced assignments are listed under Imported Assignments. They are also published, making them available to your students immediately.

If needed, you can unpublish synced assignments, move them to a different group, or add them to a module as you would do with any other assignment in Canvas.
