Why does the Home Section and Modules Section have the same content in them?
Should I leave all the content in the Module section and delete the other content from the Home section?
This seems to be redundant.
Thanks for your help or suggestions.
Hi @LauraPerault ,The reason why your home page and your modules section are the same is because that is how your home page is set. Do not delete anything from your modules, as it will be deleted from both the home page and your main modules page.
If you're interested in changing the home page so it doesn't display modules, open your course and on the right hand side you should see a choose home page button. Click that, and select your new home page.
Reach out with any questions! Thanks!

Hi @LauraPerault -- you likely have your Home set for Modules, which is the Default. I recommend creating a Page and setting it to be your Home.
Check out this 3-part blog series I wrote about Home Pages and Modules (and course menu navigation). I hope you find it helpful for the How and Why 😉

"Home" is what students using a PC or notebook first see when they open your Canvas course. You have several options. Many instructions create a Page. Other instructors set up their Modules or Syllabus as "Home."
What do you want your students to first see when they open up your course?
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
Hi, I'm reading that Amazon is blocking Meta's Muse from making purchases there. Could Instructure have Canvas instances block AI agents similarly - or, leave institutions with the ability to choose to block, etc. etc.? Limiting access tokens is great and all, but we're pretty sure all these web browsers with AI enabled,…
I have been asked to discover whether Canvas Catalog can accept eCheck payments. My thought is that since Catalog is configured to redirect to a payment form at our Payment Gateway, that this might be more a question of configuring an additional option into the Catalog and payment gateway settings. Has anyone done this?
