Clear the Clutter

Not using a certain feature of Canvas with your students? Clear the clutter and remove any unnecessary navigation buttons from your course menu.

This will lead students directly to the course content you want them to interact with. Strip down any possibility of confusion by simply hiding what your students don't absolutely need to see in order to succeed in your class in Canvas.

Alternatively, position your Navigation buttons in precisely the order you want. Home, Announcements, Syllabus, (Modules, Assignments, Discussions, and Quizzes), and Grades are the most commonly used areas of Canvas and echo a common trajectory of how students work through course content.

Click Settings on the Course Menu
Select the Navigation tab at the top center of the page
Simply drag and drop the Course Menu buttons by clicking an item box and holding your mouse button as you drag each item box into the "hide" section under "Drag items here to hide them from students."
- You can also click "Disable" or "Move" in the options button (three dots) next to each Navigation tab to instantly disable active tabs.
