Hi @JenniferLi58,
I am going to strongly recommend that you just recreate your syllabus in Canvas using the "rich content editor." Create headers for each section and copy and paste the paragraphs. (You may need to clear the formatting.)
I know it sounds tempting to think, "I just want to upload my document." However, these uploaded documents don't provide the best user experience for students, and you may end up with a host of accessibility issues.
Once you've done this once, you can import your syllabus into future Canvas courses and simply make modifications.
You can refer to the two support articles below for (1) information about the Syllabus area as an instructor and (2) how to upload files when using the Rich Content Editor (RCE).

Does that help you?

For example, instead of just requiring "XLSX" extension for JoeSmith-Assignment1.XLSX, we could require "*Assignment1.XLSX" for the filename. This would ensure that students submit…
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
