There is no CANVAS tab that shows up using the latest version of the CANVAS plugin with OctoPrint, i.e. DIY hub.

hello, i'm trying to get my activation code between palette 2 pro and canvas hub, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I always get a message (There seems to be an issue registering your Canvas Hub with the server. Please make sure you are connected to the Internet and try again.)
