Update – Instructure reissued certain application keys as a precautionary step, which requires end users to re-authorize access to those tools. Reissued application keys contain a timestamp in the name and will be visible to users during reauthorization. These are valid Instructure created keys and users should proceed with the authorization process when prompted.
