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!

@LauraPerault ...
To piggyback on the information that @SusanNiemeyer and @NoahBoswell have given you, here is a Guide with additional information:

I hope it will also help!
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?
In Course Details, there is a pull down marked Participation, which can either be Term or Course. Is there a way to set this via the API?
This has been going on for 3 semesters now…apparently it's a bug in the system, but I'd love to know when it will be fixed. After I enter a grade in Speed Grader, I look back onto Gradebook and some students' grades simply show the assignment icon. If I right-click on it, the actual points appear, but then disappear after…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
