Canvas Admin Guide: How to Configure Packback to Open in a New Window

If you're a Canvas administrator and want to ensure that the Packback tool always opens in a new window for users, you'll need to adjust the Developer Key JSON. These steps can be found below. 

  1. Go to Canvas -> Admin -> Developer Keys.
  2. Find the Packback tool key and hit Edit
  3. Change the dropdown to "Paste JSON"
  4. Find the "windowTarget" attribute and change it to "_blank"
    1. If it doesn't exist in the JSON, add "windowTarget": "_blank" to the  "Placements" section
  5. Hit Save
  6. Go back into the Developer Key and confirm that the change was saved in the JSON (sometimes it doesn't). This is what it should look like:
