- Instructors can also answer questions, endorse student answers and edit or delete any posted content.
- Analytics for usage are available to help instructors assess student participation.

Piazza is integrated within Canvas and available to all U-M instructors. You can add Piazza to your Canvas course site by clicking into the desired course, opening the Settings menu, and clicking on Navigation. Refer to Enabling External Apps for more information.
