How do I change the Notifications settings?

What is the difference between Canvas Announcements and Inbox/Conversations?

• Announcements are usually time-sensitive information sent to all students not requiring a response (can be closed for comments after posting to prevent replies to the whole class).
• Canvas Inbox/Conversations are for private information between instructors and students, typically individual or groups of students.
• Both options send an email to the students.
• Course must be published in order for students to receive a notification of an announcement.

How do I reply to a Canvas email from my Gmail account?
