Review permissions, screenshots, update date, and recent reviews before installing any extension.
Install one extension at a time. Some modify overlapping parts of Canvas and may conflict.
These are independent Chrome Web Store listings, not maintained by Instructure or your school.
Yes, but start with one at a time. Extensions that modify the same parts of Canvas (like the dashboard or sidebar) may conflict. Test each one individually before combining.
All 5 extensions listed on this page are free to install from the Chrome Web Store. Check each store listing for details on any premium features or future pricing changes. thinkcell version
Most work on common Canvas domains, but compatibility depends on your school's configuration. Check each extension's store page for supported domains and known limitations. | Issue | Likely Cause | Fix |
Canvas Analytics has some overlap with Canvas Chart (both visualize grades) and Canvas GPA Calculator (both do grade calculations). Tasks for Canvas and Canvas Chart both modify the dashboard area, so they may also conflict if used together. Canvas Dark Mode and Canvas GPA Calculator are more isolated — they rarely conflict with other extensions. Current Version: think-cell 14 * This quantitative study
No. All extensions listed here are independent projects published on the Chrome Web Store. They are not developed, endorsed, or maintained by Instructure (the company behind Canvas LMS) or any educational institution. Always review permissions and privacy policies before installing.
Canvas occasionally updates its interface, which can break extensions that modify the page. If this happens, check the extension's store page for updates, read recent reviews for reports, or temporarily disable the extension until a fix is released. Extensions with larger user bases and recent updates are generally more likely to be patched quickly.
