INTRODUCTION
A Sandbox is a practice course space where you can familiarize yourself with the features of Canvas. Please refer to the Canvas: Course Sandbox, Merge Courses, and Master or Manually Enrolled Courses article for an overview of the three types of course spaces that faculty and staff may request in Canvas.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
From your Canvas Dashboard, click the Request a Course Sandbox button to automatically have a Sandbox created for you. You will automatically be added to the course roster in a Teacher role for this new Sandbox.
Figure 1: Click the Request a Course Sandbox button at the right.
Important Notes:
Course Sandboxes should never be used to enroll students or to teach credit or non-credit bearing courses.
Only one Sandbox per user ID may be created. If you already have a Sandbox, the "Error: Sandbox already exists for user" message displays when you click the Request a Course Sandbox button.
- If you receive this error but do not see a Sandbox on your Canvas Dashboard, click the Courses button from the left-hand navigation menu and then select the "All Courses" link.
- If your Sandbox does not display on the All Courses screen, it may have been archived. Please refer to the Canvas: Self-Restore an Archived Course article for instructions on restoring an archived course.
- If your Sandbox was not archived, then contact your local Service Desk for support.
