I routinely use a few external tools with assignments, but my school has so many of them on the list. Can I hide how many external tools I see but not affect the rest of my institution?
Hi @jenn4,
If you're talking about the list of external tools when creating an external assignment, that is unfortunately something that is controlled at a Canvas account/subaccount level, not something you can customize in an individual course. With that being said, you could talk to your local Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) to let them know the list has become quite large and hard for you to manage. I'm a Canvas admin myself, and a couple years ago we went through the tools that show up there and found quite a few that didn't even work as assignments, so I was able to go and reconfigure the tools to not show in the list. Your school/institution may have already done that, so no guarantee or anything, but it would be worth asking.
Hope this helps!

Greetings @jenn4 ,
Thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!
Would you mind confirming what "list" you're mentioning? Do you mean your Canvas course navigation? If so, you can go into your course's settings and simply drag the external apps down and it will hide it from your course's navigation menu. This will only change things at the course-level, and not the institution level.
However, if you are talking about the RCE or something else, a lot of these will be global changes by default and will likely require custom CSS or JavaScript within your Canvas Instance's theming to make those changes happen.
Hope to hear back from you soon, all the best!Noah
Hi @jenn,
As stated by @NoahBoswell and @chriscas, unfortunately, from a faculty end user perspective, it is not possible to control (limit/hide) the list of tools/apps/LTIs that are available.
Indirectly related, this is a challenge that Canvas admins have as well because sometimes we have to use tricks (whether supported or unsupported, officially or unofficially) to limit what appears by default and sometimes we are not able to either.

Hi, we have noticed some changes in the way Canva docs or files are able to be embedded live.

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…
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…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
