What do Canvas Apps primarily aim to achieve by registering as Connected Apps?

Canvas Apps primarily aim to ensure a seamless user experience within Salesforce by registering as Connected Apps. When a Canvas App is registered as a Connected App, it allows for the integration of external applications within the Salesforce interface while maintaining a single sign-on experience. This means that users can access the external app directly from within Salesforce without needing to log in separately or switch applications, which streamlines their workflow and keeps their focus on one platform.

The registration process provides the necessary security protocols, ensuring that data is accessed in a controlled manner, while also allowing the embedded application to interact with Salesforce features and data, enhancing the overall user interface and experience. This seamless integration is vital for improving productivity and user satisfaction.

By focusing on user experience, Canvas Apps are designed to integrate smoothly into Salesforce rather than increasing integration costs or promoting dependencies. The other options focus on aspects such as data access or cost savings, which do not accurately capture the primary goal of Canvas Apps within the Salesforce ecosystem.
