Get Visual CSS EditorFrequently Asked Questions
Can I change Canvas functionality or course content structure?
No, the Visual CSS Editor focuses purely on styling (CSS). It helps you visually change the appearance of the Canvas interface, not its core features, course content organization, or tool integrations.
How do I apply the CSS changes in Canvas?
Copy the generated CSS. In Canvas, navigate to Admin > Themes. You can either edit the custom CSS files directly within the Theme Editor or upload a CSS file containing the generated code. Applying theme changes requires Canvas admin permissions.
Will this work with any Canvas theme?
Yes, the editor works with the page elements, so it should be compatible with the standard Canvas theme and most custom themes or sub-accounts.
Does this require Canvas admin permissions?
Using the editor itself doesn't require special permissions. However, applying the generated CSS to the theme requires Canvas administrator permissions with theme editing capabilities.
Is it safe for my Canvas instance?
Completely safe. The extension runs locally in your browser and doesn't interact with your Canvas backend, user data, course content, or settings. You manually apply the generated CSS using standard Canvas theme customization methods.
