How do I add an image to a subject card or banner?

This lesson applies to users at institutions that have enabled the Canvas for Elementary user interface.

If your institution allows, you can upload an image to display within the course card in the Homeroom and a subject banner image on the subject's home page. Accepted image types include JPG, JPEG, GIF, and PNG files.

Banner images are cropped to a 5:1 aspect ratio.

Note: If a banner image is not set, the home page uses the card image. If a card image has not been set, the banner displays the course color.
