Progress Report is heading to the Chrome Web Store. Until the listing is live, you can install it directly — it takes about a minute.

Chrome, Edge, Brave (manual install)

  1. Download the extension: lamplighter-extension.zip — unzip it somewhere it can stay.
  2. Open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode (top right).
  3. Click Load unpacked and pick the unzipped folder.
  4. Go to any course in your Canvas, click the 🏮 lantern in the toolbar, and allow it on your school's Canvas domain when asked.

A Student Overview item appears in the course navigation. That's it — your 30-day trial starts the first time you open a report.

Firefox

Coming after the Chrome listing. If you want it sooner, say so — demand moves it up the list.

What it will ask permission for

Only your own school's Canvas domain, and only after you click. It requests nothing at install time and cannot see any other site.
