How to change the Course Home Page

  • Updated

Introduction

Canvas allows you to change the Course Home Page, which is where users first access your course. There are five layout options: the Recent Activity Dashboard, Pages Front Page, the Course Modules, the Assignment List, or the Syllabus.

Note: You must set a Front Page before selecting the Pages Front Page option. Additionally, only Published pages can be set as the Front Page.

Steps

  1. Navigate to your course.
  2. Click on Choose Home Page on the right side of the page. If you do not see this on the right, you may need to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the button to click.

If you want to select a Pages Front Page but the link is grayed out, you must first set a Front Page.
Note: Only Published pages can be set as the Pages Front Page. Make sure the page you want to set as the Front Page is published.
