Canvas Course Home Page is Missing
Did you copy a past course and don't see the correct home page in the new course? The good news is there is nothing broken! After a course copy, instructors must set the Home page they want to replace the template with.
- After the course import has finished, click Pages.
- Click the View All Pages button to open the full index list.
- Locate the correct Home page in the list and click the 3-dot more menu.
- Select Use as Front Page.
- Click Home to confirm the change.
Step 1: Copy Your Course and Open Pages
Wait for the course copy process to complete before moving on. Then click Pages in your course menu.
Step 2: Open the View All Pages Index
When you click Pages and the same Home page opens, this is due to it being selected as the Front page. You need to open the entire index list of Pages to change this by clicking View All Pages.
Step 3: Locate the Correct Page and Open the More Menu
Once you find the correct Page you want to use for Home, open the 3-dot more menu for that Page.
Step 4: Select Use as Front Page
From the more menu, select Use as Front Page to stop the template page from showing and begin showing the page you want. To keep your course tidy, delete the one(s) you won't be using.
Step 5: Confirm Your Selection
Now click Home in your course menu to ensure your changes are correct. Depending on how you managed making this change, sometimes Canvas resets the Home page differently than using the Pages Front Page. If you don't see the correct page on Home, confirm the setting by clicking Choose Home Page. Select Pages Front Page and then click Save.
