How do I publish or unpublish a page as an instructor?
Draft State allows content in Pages to exist in an unpublished (draft) state. Unpublished content is invisible to students.
Note: If you use Modules in your course and add a Page to a Module, please be aware that the state of the Module overrides the state of all module items. You may want to consider leaving Pages unpublished until you are ready to publish the entire Module. For more information please see the Modules Draft State lesson.

How do I add a new term in an account?
Canvas always includes a default term, which cannot be removed or renamed. However, you can create terms with specific start and end dates. Term dates should be set before adding any courses to your account.
If your institution uses grading periods, you can associate a term with a grading period set.
Note: Terms can also be created using SIS Imports.

How do I use the Terms page in an account?
The basic function of a term is to give a default set of start and end dates to any course assigned to that term. Terms can be added manually or created through SIS imports.
Canvas always includes a default term, which cannot be removed. However, you can create terms with specific start and end dates.
Once a user is added to a course, terms set default dates for when users have access to courses assigned to that term. Access relates to published courses.

How do I import SIS data to a Canvas account?
SIS data can be uploaded through the SIS Imports link in Account Settings. SIS data is only accessible at the account level and cannot be added to sub-accounts.
The SIS Import page supports a few formats for standard imports to Canvas: Instructure formatted CSV or zipfile of CSVs, IMS Enterprise Specification XML zip, or Banner Grade Exchange Results XML. Files can be set for a full batch update and to override UI changes.
Please ensure you are aware of the risks associated with these upload options. For more details about these risks, please view the SIS Imports lesson.
API Practice
Before importing SIS information, practice using the API to manage SIS data. You should also use your test environment to avoid conflicts with your live production data. Once you have confirmed your data in your test environment, you can re-apply your SIS integration to your production environment.
Notes:
- SIS Imports must be enabled by your Customer Success Manager before files can be uploaded to your account.
- Importing SIS files is an account permission. If you do not have access to manage SIS files, your institution has restricted this feature.
- Before setting permission for a user role, you must ensure the role you want to assign the user already exists in your account. Learn how to create an account-level role.
