Hover over each type of notification to see exactly what information will be sent to you if you choose to be notified. Some notifications are only available to instructors and admin. You will be able to see this when you hover your cursor over the words.
If you would like to be notified when a Canvas message is sent to your student, use the notifications under Conversations. This option is only available at the Account level.
For the Grading notification, you can toggle on or off if you would like to include the score in the notification you receive.
**The email notifications in your inbox may contain links to resources in your student's Canvas course. Those links will only work if you are logged in to your Canvas Observer account in the same browser window where you are accessing your email inbox OR on the same smartphone device where you are accessing the email links.**
