My quizzes show up everywhere but on the home page. They are in the gradebook too. But I need to get them onto the home page.
If your current Home Page is the Modules page, then you need to add a module, and then add items to the modules, following the instructions here: How do I add course content as module items?If it is not, you can make your Home Page the Modules page using the instructions here: How do I change the Course Home Page?
Those instructions would also let you make the Home Page be the Assignments page (which includes all quizzes).
Alternatively, the Home Page can be a Page, in which you can add links to the quizzes by editing the Rich Content Editor and adding Course Links: How do I create hyperlinks to course or group content
Hi @LauraCarter1,
@Gabriel33 provided guidance for setting up "Modules" so that it is your homepage and also adding course content to individual modules.
Another option, which is described in the https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-Course-Home-Page/ta-p/1035 support article that @Gabriel33 referenced is to set the "Assignments" area of the course to be your home page. When you have graded quizzes, primarily for organizing in assignment groups, they also appear in the "Assignments" area of the course.

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…
