How Do I Change My Course Settings?

Overview

As an Teacher inside a Canvas course, you have the ability to change the course settings and navigation options, including:

Let students attach files to discussions
Let students create discussion topics
Let students edit or delete their own discussion posts
Let students organize their own groups
Hide totals in student grades summary
Hide grade distribution graphs from students
Disable comments on announcements

General Course Settings / Details

These are global options for the course, and can be found on the course Settings page, on the Course Details tab, at the bottom, under “more options” How do I change additional options for students in my course?

Navigation Settings

As an instructor, you can control which links appear in Course Navigation. Canvas includes a set of default Course Navigation links that are shown by default and cannot be renamed. Depending on your course configuration, other links may be available and may be customizable. To learn more about how to do this, read the Canvas Guide: How do I manage Course Navigation links? article.
