Accessing Canvas Content from your Adobe Express Account

As you make copies of the Adobe Express assignment template, the Adobe Express project will appear in your Adobe Express account. Once you submit your project, a copy of your project is made and ownership is given to your course instructor who may view the project in Adobe Express or within Canvas. This copy is no longer editable by you. If you submit the assignment more than once, each copy will appear as a submission. Any edits you make to the project will not be seen by your instructor unless you share the project with the course instructor or resubmit the Canvas assignment.
