Does Canvas Pilot turn on at ufl.instructure.com?
Yes, with nothing to set up. ufl.instructure.com ends in instructure.com, and Canvas Pilot always treats those addresses as Canvas. Open any course and the panel shows up in the bottom right corner. If it ever does not, the troubleshooting page shows how to add the address by hand.
