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?
After the cyber attack, some of my embedded images aren't showing up in quizzes. It seems to just be one of my classes, in particular, and the others were fixed on Monday. Anybody know what 3 of my classes were fixed, but the fourth one (Geometry) won't show the images in the quizzes?
Hi everyone, I've got several pages and assignments where I use frames to embed videos and interactive resources. But whenever I go into editing, the formatting in some of them breaks down: the video size shrinks down, or I'm left with an empty blank space. I think I've narrowed down the cause of this issue: Some of these…
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…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
