Canvas comes with a whole toolkit of items that you may or may not use in your course. These items are listed in a column on the left side of the course window. The left-hand navigation links can be re-organized or hidden from students to help better facilitate delivery of course content. Removing unused links from the navigation will result in a visually cleaner site and prevent students from unnecessarily getting lost in links that have no content. Please note that links cannot be renamed.
Changing the navigation menu
- Go to your course on Canvas.
- On the left, click Settings.
- At the top of the screen, click the Navigation tab.
- Drag any navigation links you do not want to use down to the bottom of the page.
- Drag and drop navigation links to rearrange them in the order you prefer.
- When finished, click Save.
More information on changing the navigation menu can be found in the Canvas Help Guide.
