Why is it that some items I add to canvas are bolded and some are not?
Hi @PaulaArcher ...
That's interesting. Thanks for sharing your screenshot. I think this only occurs when you are choosing "External URL" as a module item type that you want to add to your module. Further, when you add an 'External URL" to your module, you can choose the option to "Load in a new tab". If you select this option, then you'll see that small icon to the right of the name with a box and an arrow pointing to the right. This is a visual for you that this website will open in a new tab. However, if you do not select "Load in a new tab", then that icon is not displayed next to the name of the item in the module. Re: the bold vs. non bold... if you select "Load in a new tab", then the item is not bold. If you don't select "Load in a new tab", then the item is bold. I don't know the reasoning for why this is, though. I looked at this Guide, but I don't really see an explanation of why this is.
How do I add an external URL as a module item?
Sorry I don't have a better answer for you...but I hope this helps to explain how things are at this point.

I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
