How do I import a favorite page from Commons to Canvas as an instructor?
If Commons has been enabled in your Canvas instance, you can add favorited pages from Commons to a Canvas course.
Learn how to add and manage favorites in Commons.
Notes:
- You must add pages to your favorites in Commons before they can be viewed and imported in the Pages Index page.
- Content shared through Commons retains the published/unpublished status of the item when it was originally shared. If you import a page that was published when it was originally shared, it will import and be published in your course.
