How do I use the Canvas course setup tutorial as an instructor?

When you open a new course, the course defaults to the Home Page. The page will also expand the Home Page tutorial. The Home Page tutorial tells you the purpose of the page and what to do next.

Each Canvas index page in the Course Navigation Menu includes a tutorial except for the Outcomes tab. By default, the tutorial is expanded in each page. Once you read the content in the tutorial, you may want to collapse the tutorial as some pages contain content behind the tutorial. The state of the tutorial is persistent across Canvas pages, so if you collapse the tutorial in one page, it will stay collapsed until expanded again.

To expand or collapse the tutorial, click the arrow icon.

To end the tutorial at any time, click the End Tutorial button.

Note: Ending the tutorial means that the tutorial will no longer display in any of your courses.

Click the Okay button.
