New Perusall LTI 1.3 Integration Confirm Merge Email

In August of 2024, we upgraded our Perusall integration from LTI 1.1 to LTI 1.3. If you originally set up your Perusall course prior to 9/24 with the LTI 1.1 integration, the first time you launch into Perusall via LTI 1.3 integration, it will prompt you with a one-time "confirm merge" email. This means that your account was originally on a different integration and it is transitioning you to the new one. You will need to confirm the merge and relaunch and will be all set.

Dialog box titled "Select content" explaining that a Perusall account is linked to the Learning Management System and instructing to check email for confirmation linkEmail message asking to confirm linking Perusall account to a Learning Management System with a blue "Confirm request" button"Link to home page" button selected in Perusall content linking interface with options for assignments and library connections Click "Link to Home page" to create a single link to your Perusall course home page.  Or you can link to a specific assignment.

Also, if you originally had a course through the LTI 1.1 integration, that content is still available in your account under "my courses". Teachers can also copy course materials from a 1.1 course to a 1.3 course.

For instructions on copying course materials from one course to another, see How do I transition my Perusall course from an LTI 1.1 integration to LTI 1.3?
