How to start a collaboration using Google Drive (LTI 1.3) in Canvas

Inside your Canvas course or group, select Collaborations in the navigation menu.

In the top right corner, select the Add Collaboration button.

In the drop-down, select Google Drive (LTI 1.3).

Note: if this is your first time using this tool, you may be prompted to sign in or verify your Google account.

Select your Google account.

To add a title for the collaboration, enter a title in the Title field.

In the File type drop-down menu, select the type of collaboration you want to create.  You can create docs, slides, sheets, forms, drawings, or sites.

To add a description for the collaboration, enter text in the Description field.

Click the checkbox next to the name of a person you want to add to the collaboration.  Add as many collaborators as necessary.

Click the Create button.

This will create a new file that all invited collaborators will be able to access and edit when they click on the file from the Collaborations area of the Canvas course or group.
