Canvas HTML Publisher

1 Load ZIP2 Verify course3 Review plan4 Build as drafts

1. Load approved HTML ZIP

ZIP file (with manifest.json, pages/ and assets/)

Use the ZIP produced for your Malouf unit.

Unit title

Canvas module title

Prefix Canvas page titles with unit name to avoid collisions with pages from other units.

2. Connect to Canvas

Worker admin key

Not your Canvas API token. The Canvas token remains on the Worker.

Choose a Canvas course

Courses are loaded directly from your Canvas account. Selecting a course automatically verifies access.

Allow updating existing Canvas pages and reusing an unpublished module with matching titles. Leave off for a first build.

Safety: pages and the module are created unpublished. Course files are separate Canvas objects and may be visible through Files according to the course's settings. Use a test course first.

3. Review the unit plan

Select a ZIP file to see the pages by week.

4. Build in Canvas

Uploads supporting files, creates or reuses pages, replaces overview links, then adds module headings and items. Keep this tab open. If interrupted, reload the same ZIP and resume.

5. Export existing Canvas lessons to a ZIP (optional, read-only)

Use this to collect an existing Canvas unit overview, linked lesson pages and their supporting files into one ZIP for further lesson development. Uses the admin key from section 2. No course selection is required for extraction when you paste a full Canvas page URL. Documents linked from other courses are included when your Canvas token has permission. No changes are made to Canvas.

Canvas page URL (course inferred automatically)

Paste a complete Canvas page URL. The exporter reads its course ID automatically; the publishing course dropdown is not used.

Or upload the Canvas page HTML

If you upload HTML, the page URL is optional but helps resolve relative links. Canvas files are retrieved by file ID, including cross-course links.

Follow Canvas lesson-page links recursively (up to 60 additional pages). This includes documents and links on those pages.

The ZIP includes original page HTML, accessible Canvas documents (Word, PowerPoint, PDF and other files, up to 20 MB each / 80 MB total), and a complete link inventory (CSV and Markdown), plus a CSV listing any failed downloads. External sites and Google Docs are recorded as URLs, not downloaded.

Scan an existing Canvas page to discover lesson documents and links.
