Enabling DesignPLUS

The DesignPLUS sidebar is not visible by default. You’ll need to enable using a keyboard shortcut.

Enabling with Keyboard Shortcut

To open the DesignPLUS sidebar in Canvas:

  1. Open the Canvas course.
  2. Navigate to the content you wish to edit.
  3. Click the “Edit” button.
  4. Hold the control key (^) and type the 1 key (this works the same on Macs and PCs)
control plus 1
  1. You will see the DesignPLUS sidebar open on the right side of the screen.

Note: The older keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+D for Widows users or Shift+Option+D for Mac users will also work, but we find the control + 1 is easier to remember.
