Subcatalogs can be customized with their own branding and settings.</p> <p>By default, subcatalog listings are shown in the parent catalog as well as the subcatalog's individual URL path. However, subcatalogs can also be made private, where subcatalog listings are not shown in the parent catalog. </p> <p>Once you have created a subcatalog, you can <a href="../../26051/l/256869?data-resolve-url=true&data-manual-id=26051" data-object-class="article" data-object-uuid="8E6D6B50-20FB-0132-2B55-22000A1C0763" data-object-manual-uuid="7ce99cd2-66f7-44fc-bc61-163748aab9fe" data-resolve-url="true" target="_blank">manage your catalogs</a> at any time to add customization options. </p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> You cannot delete a subcatalog once it has been created.</p>Manual Catalog Guide -

How do I manage program requirements in Canvas Catalog?

How do enrollment caps and waitlists display for a course or program listing in Catalog?
<p>When you create a course or program listing, you can set an enrollment cap for that course or program. Enrollment caps let you set a limit to the number of students who can enroll in the course or program. A wait list can be added to a listing as part of an enrollment cap. </p> <p>When an enrollment cap is added to a listing, the enrollment number always begins at zero, regardless if students are already enrolled in the listing. Please make sure that you set your enrollment cap before inviting users to enroll for the listing. Catalog does not verify enrollments against any users who may already be enrolled in a course or program. Users who are already enrolled in a course or program when the enrollment cap is added will not appear in the enrollment count for that listing.</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <ul><li>Enrollment caps are applied per listing.</li> <li>Course and program listings can have separate enrollment caps, regardless if a course is listed individually or as part of a program. </li> <li>If a course is listed individually for enrollment and as part of a program, and both the program and the course have enrollment caps, the total number of enrollments allowed would be the sum of those cap limits. </li> <li>For the wait list feature to take effect, students must drop courses from the Catalog dashboard. If a student drops a course from the Canvas dashboard, the course will be dropped, but the wait list feature will not know that a spot has become available in the course or program and will not notify the student next in line.</li> </ul>Manual Catalog Guide
