Canvas Status Update<\/strong>
\nUpdating Chat LTI in Canvas on March 31, 2017<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi Admins,<\/p>\n

We will be updating the Canvas Chat LTI tool in your region on Friday, March 31. \u00a0We do not yet have a set time for exactly when this will start, but it will be done overnight, when fewer people are likely to be attempting to access it. \u00a0We will let you know as soon as we have more information.<\/p>\n

During this update, we will be migrating chat history from the existing Chat tool to the new one, so this update requires a scheduled maintenance window where Chat will be unavailable for \u00a0up to 24 hours. \u00a0If this tool is enabled for your institution, please note that your users will not be able to access the Chat tool throughout the maintenance window. \u00a0They will instead see a maintenance page when they click to view the Chat tool. We hope that this update will take much less time than estimated, but please rest assured that Canvas as a whole will still be operational during this time.<\/p>\n

Typically on our maintenance notifications we try to give a one-week notice at the very least. \u00a0We apologize for the late notice on this one, but know the experience with this tool will be better once the update is complete. \u00a0Once the dust settles, you’ll be able to enjoy a much-improved Chat experience in Canvas!<\/p>\n

If you would like to learn more about the enhancements being made in this update, feel free to review our latest Release Notes at https:\/\/community.canvaslms.com\/docs\/DOC-9116-canvas-production-release-notes-2017-04-01<\/a>. \u00a0Please contact your Customer Success Manager if you have any questions or concerns about this event.<\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/p>\n
