Course Navigation (ESSENTIAL)

Canvas offers you several options to facilitate your students in navigating through a course in the best possible way. Explore these guides to learn more:

• How do I use the Course Home Page as an instructor? Links to an external site.
• How do I use the Course Navigation Menu as an instructor? Links to an external site.
• How do I reorder and hide Course Navigation links? Links to an external site.
• What layout options are available in the Course Home Page? Links to an external site.
• How do I change the Course Home Page? Links to an external site.
• How do I use the Course Activity Stream? Links to an external site.

When you hide/disable course navigation links, they will become grey and students will not be able to see those navigation links. Please note, the content is not gone. For example, you create an assignment and place it in a module. After doing so, you hide/disable the course navigation link to Assignments. Students will not be able to navigate directly to the Assignments link, but have to access the assignment through the Modules link (where they will see the assignment as part of the module).
