Microsoft is deprecating its Microsoft OneDrive integration with Canvas on September 17, 2026. At this time, all Microsoft OneDrive links created in Canvas course sites with the Canvas integration will break and no longer work. Ahead of this September 17 deprecation date, Instructors can use the OneDrive Migration Tool to scan their course and migrate their OneDrive links to the new Microsoft Education LTI. 

To use the Migration Tool in a closed course, you must request that the course be reopened.

You must enable third-party cookies and allow pop-ups and redirects in your browser settings for this tool to function correctly.

  1. Navigate into your Canvas course site and click the Settings link in the Course Navigation. In the right-hand side course action section, select the OneDrive Migration Tool button.

Please note if this is your first time accessing the OneDrive Migration Tool / Microsoft Education integration, you will be prompted to Authorize the tool's access to scan and migrate your links. Select the Authorize button if prompted to continue to the migration tool.

  2. With the OneDrive links scanned and identified, select the Migrate button to initiate the migration

  1. The migration process will begin and a progress bar will appear at the bottom of the page. Depending on how many OneDrive links need to be migrated, this can take a few moments to complete. Once completed, a message will appear with a summary of the items in Canvas that were migrated and will prompt you to reload your window to return to the OneDrive Migration Tool scan page in case you need to migrate any other links.

  1. If the course has no OneDrive links to migrate, you will see an "All Set" message indicating that no further action is necessary. You can then repeat this process with any other Canvas course.
