how to edit the images used in the module tiles on the course overview/homepage?
Hi @LKV ,
It sounds as though you are referring to a Page within the course, not the course tile on the Canvas dashboard.
Has the course been shared with you as a template? Templates often contain a Module with the resources used to create the Module along with instructions for making edits. You also can look in the Files of the course to find the images that were used (and possibly instructions). In order to edit the images, you will need to go into editing mode for that page and replace the images with your own choices. Be aware of image dimensions and resolution.
How do I edit a page in a course?
You may need to upload a new image and then create a new link to the Module:
How do I upload and embed an image in the Rich Content Editor as an instructor?
How do I create hyperlinks to course or group content in the Rich Content Editor as an instructor?
Go into that course, then go to "Settings" on the left.
Under "Course Details" you will see an image. Click on the 3 dots, and select "Chose Image."

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…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
