This provides modifications to the Canvas LMS to improve the user experience visually and functionally.

This Chrome extension modifies and adds to the Canvas LMS GUI to improve productivity and functionality for users. The current version makes modifications in the admin area of Canvas LMS, but additional features will be added in the future to enhance the experience for non-admin users too.

It adds additional information that may be useful to users by adding new elements with details that are in the source code, but not currently visible and/or from Canvas LMS API calls. It also adds additional features like search functionalities on pages without a native search/filter.

Users are able to control which features they want to use through the options. This allows them to disable features they don't want and/or that may conflict with other settings/customizations they have on their instance of Canvas LMS.
