Introduction
Canvas To Do lists contains a To Do list and other sections that help you know what assignments and events are coming up in all of your courses. The sidebar includes specific items for instructor and student roles. If you are enrolled in Canvas courses with more than one user role, your sidebar may show items for both roles. You may view this either in Card or List views in the Dashboard. This can also be accessed in the Canvas Student Mobile App.
The sidebar is similar to the sidebar displayed in your Course Home Page, but the course sidebar only includes items for the specific course. Depending on the setup of your Course Home Page, the sidebar in a course may contain additional sections than shown in the sidebar.

The sidebar helps you see what you need to do next and what feedback you've received across all your courses. However, assignments that are not graded or do not require an online submission only display until the due date.
The To Do section shows up to seven items with due dates or event dates in the upcoming weeks, including ungraded quizzes, assignments that do not require a Canvas submission, and course announcements [1]. Each item in the To Do list displays the assignment name, the course name, the number of points, and the due date for the assignment. Once the due date has passed, items remain in this section for four weeks.
TheRecent Feedbacksection shows assignments with feedback from your instructor during the last four weeks [2].
TheView Grades button links to the Dashboard Gradespage and displays grades for all active courses [3].
