Icons representing the steps for integration

Adding an App in Canvas for Science Interactive will allow you to link lessons, enable grade transfer, and use other features.

This will only need to be performed once for each course SKU.

The Client ID and Deployment ID are both unique to a given course SKU.

These steps are performed in the course itself, not the Admin panel.
