I need to add a student in canvas immediately and I'm having trouble figuring it out. How do I add a student to a course??

I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints".
