This document contains the steps that an administrator will need to perform to enable Deep Linking for existing LTI 1.3 tools This must be performed by the LMS administrator since an instructor does not have the required privileges.

We currently support Deep Linking in the following LMSs.

• Canvas

• Blackboard

• Brightspace

If you already have the 1.3 tool installed, follow the steps below to enable deep linking.

1. Navigate the the "Developer keys" and find the zyBooks LTI 1.3 tool. Then click the edit button

2. Scroll down to the "Link selection" settings. Under "Select Message Type" change the option to "LtiDeepLinkingRequest".
