Accessing Canvas Content from your Adobe Express Account

As students submit to the Canvas assignment, a course folder is created in Adobe Express and a folder is created for each assignment within. The names of the folders should not be renamed.

Student submissions are stored as a copy in your Adobe Express account. If a student submits to the assignment more than once, each copy will appear in the assignment folder. Any edits you make to the project will not be seen by the student unless you share the project with the student.
