Course Navigation Menu
Canvas courses, by default, have a series of features listed in the left sidebar Course Navigation. You may not be using all of these features in your Canvas course or wish to use other features that are not visible with the default settings.
Within each course, you can re-order or hide items from the Navigation menu to organize what students can see and access.
- Select “Settings” from your course navigation menu
- Select the Navigation tab in the upper portion of the page
- Select an item from the Navigation options and drag and drop it above or below the other items in the Navigation menu
- To remove an item from student view, select the item and drag and drop to below “Drag items here to hide them from students.”
- Save your chosen navigation settings at the bottom of the page
