How do I customize the Subject Home page as an instructor?
This lesson applies to users at institutions that have enabled the Canvas for Elementary user interface.
In Canvas for Elementary, each subject may include a Home tab. Along with subject announcements, the Home tab displays content designated as the Subject Home Page on the subject's Pages Index Page.
The Subject Home Page allows instructors to display subject-specific content and can include links, images, or rich media. Students can interact with content added to the Subject Home Page.
If a subject home page is not been assigned or has been removed, students can only view announcements in the subject's Home tab.
Note: Only published pages can be set as the Subject Home Page.
