Hello,
I am trying to find a way to put a downloaded link from an eBook on to a page? The link cannot be edited and I am trying to see how I can move it onto a page instead of it sitting in the Modules.
Hey @RobertaPell!
If the link is already in the module, you should be able to right click the link in the module and select Copy link address. Then paste the link wherever you need it within a page. Once the link is set up on the page the way you want, I would remove the link from the module if it is no longer needed.
Hope this helps!
Hi @RobertaPell,
I just wanted to quickly add one potential caveat to the info @ryan_corris provided. If the module item is truly just a plain external URL, everything should work as Ryan stated. Since you mentioned the link being to an eBook, it may be the case that that link it actually an external tool launch URL, which will pass aloneg data form Canvas when clicked to authenticate users to the eBook platform. If that is the case, I don't believe you'll be able to replicate that URL and launch process with a link in a page. I figured this may help out in case Ryan's advice didn't work (and for other people who may come across this thread in the future too).

Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
A teacher has expressed concerns with the recent update. Exact concern is as follows: "My Canvas has been acting glitchy since the last "update." For instance, when I grade essays the highlight and cursor tools do not always work. I have to try highlighting several times,or come back later to finish. It's told me I "ran…
A recent change my students have been complaining about is that they now have to wait for Canvas to process submissions so that it can be displayed within the browser before they can check that the submission worked. When the servers are heavily loaded I have seen student need to wait 5 minutes for this. When submitting at…
