Sending Messages to Students

The Canvas Inbox is a global feature, which means it can be found on your maroon Global Navigation Menu Bar and can be used across all of your courses. You can use the Inbox to send messages (called "conversations") to individual students or to all students in a course at one time.

You can also send messages to students using the "Message Students Who..." feature in the Gradebook. This feature allows you to filter students based on assignment submission status or grade on an assignment.
