This guide focuses on Edlink's recommended hybrid integration (API + LTI 1.3). However, it is also possible to configure your app using an LTI Advantage–only setup.
Please confirm with the learning app that an LTI-only source is something they support before proceeding.
Check out the following guide to get your LTI Advantage source set up in Edlink:
