Sadly, it's not archived anywhere I could find, but it did mention that you could send them a CSV file of up to 50 URLs to update the canonical links for.
- jnbiche 8y agoThat doesn't contradict anything the agent said. I believe you that they could previously set canonical links. But it's highly likely that upper management changed that policy (I'm surprised they allowed it to begin with).
