The Home Page Is Missing after a Course Copy
Did you copy a course and don't see the correct home page in the new course? The good news is that there is nothing broken! If you decide to copy all the content from your course, you’ll copy your home page. However, this won’t override the template home page of the course you copied it to. The home page is located in the Pages section of your copied course. To move your copied home page to the home page section of the course, follow the instructions below.
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 (three vertical dots), 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.
Note: The page must be published to be selectable for a Front Page. If the option is greyed out, publish the page and try again
Step 5: Confirm Your Selection
Now click Home in your course menu to ensure your changes are correct. Depending on how you managed to make 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.
