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?

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…
