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!

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?
There seems to be a change in my current rubric that it no longer shows different colours when marked via Speedgrader ie Red for Below Standard, Yellow for At Standard and Green for Above Standard. No it only shows Green across all Ratings. Is this able to be fixed?
We have a campus reporting that notes/comments entered directly in PowerTeacher Pro are being removed after a Canvas-to-PowerSchool grade sync runs.

Does anyone have suggestions for bulk aligning questions at the quiz level, not the item bank level? I don't know much about API keys, but would one of these work for a bulk alignment? We have a school that is preparing for accreditation next year and they must get their quiz questions aligned to outcomes. We know they…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
