How do I view and edit the Syllabus in the Teacher app on my Android device?
If you are using a syllabus, Canvas lets you access the Syllabus page and course summary list from your mobile device. You can also choose to disable the Course Summary.
The Course Summary is enabled by default. It is automatically generated based on assignments and events within a course. Items within the Course Summary can only be changed by editing or deleting the assignments or events. All assignments (unpublished and published) are listed in the syllabus for instructors.
