Step 2 — Enable Canvas inside DrillBit LMS
With the developer key registered in Canvas and the Client ID in hand, the second step is done inside DrillBit. You’ll switch to the Admin role, open the Canvas integration form, and submit the endpoints DrillBit needs to talk back to your Canvas instance.
Before you start: complete Step 1 — Register the developer key in Canvas and have the Client ID copied from the developer key’s Details section to hand.
1. Sign in and switch to the Admin role
- Open DrillBit and sign in with your administrator credentials.
- Click the profile menu in the top-right corner.
- Choose Switch Account › Switch to admin.
If you don’t see the option to switch to admin, your account doesn’t have admin privileges — contact DrillBit support to have your account upgraded before continuing.
2. Open the Canvas integration form
- From the side menu, click the Integrations tab.
- Locate the Canvas tile.
- Click the toggle to open the Canvas integration form.
3. Fill in the integration form
Enter the following values exactly:
| Platform URL * | https://canvas.instructure.com |
|---|---|
| Client id * | Paste the Client ID copied from Step 9 of the Canvas developer key setup. |
| Auth end point * | https://canvas.drillbitplagiarismcheck.com/api/lti/authorize_redirect |
| Access end point * | https://canvas.drillbitplagiarismcheck.com/login/oauth2/token |
| Method * | JWK_SET |
| Keyset end point * | https://canvas.drillbitplagiarismcheck.com/api/lti/security/jwks |
4. Submit and confirm
- Verify every URL and field matches the values above exactly — a single trailing space or wrong character will cause launches to fail.
- Click Submit to integrate the Canvas LMS with DrillBit.
- A success message confirms that the Canvas integration is now active on your DrillBit account.
If submission fails, the most common cause is a mismatch between the Client ID and the developer key it was copied from. Re-copy it from the Canvas developer key’s Details section and try again before raising a support ticket.
DrillBit is now wired up to your Canvas instance. Continue to Step 3 — Install the DrillBit app in Canvas to add the app at the site and course level.
