Body
Here is a guide on how to add prerequisites to a module?
When you set up prerequisite modules, students must complete a module before moving to the next module.
For each module, you can only set prerequisite modules that come before a specific module. You may need to reorder modules to create correct prerequisite availability.
Please note that you cannot prevent a student from accessing an upcoming module unless requirements have also been set for the prior modules. Requirements indicate the order that students are required to complete module items.
Note: You can only add prerequisites if you have added at least one module.

If you change prerequisites that students have already fulfilled, Canvas will ask if you want to let students progress through the course or re-lock the modules and require students to complete the prerequisites again.
