Why some features start off
The Gradebook Review Tracker and Checkpoint Rubric Mapper need setup before they do anything useful. Avatar Zoom is a matter of preference. Admin Course Links and User Enrollments serve a narrower audience. Features that work on sight start on.
Where features work
Features only act on the Canvas pages they are built for, and only on instructure.com Canvas sites. If a feature does not appear, see Troubleshooting.
