Managing your To-Do list

Master the upgraded to-do list to stay ahead of your deadlines.

Managing your To-Do list

The Better Canvas to-do list is designed to help you stay organized without leaving your dashboard.

Accessing the To-Do List

You can find the upgraded to-do list directly on your Canvas dashboard, usually integrated into the sidebar or as a floating panel depending on your settings.

Key Features:

  • Automatic Sync: Assignments from your Canvas courses are automatically pulled into the list.
  • Custom Tasks: Add tasks that aren’t on Canvas (like “Buy groceries” or “Meeting with advisor”).
  • Priority Levels: Mark tasks as High, Medium, or Low priority.
  • Deadline Sorting: Tasks are automatically sorted by their due date to show what’s most urgent.

How to Categorize Tasks:

Click on any task to open the details view. From there, you can select a category (e.g., Homework, Exam, Project) to keep your list clean and searchable.
