As an admin, you can add links to the Account, Course, and User Navigation menus by accessing Account Settings. These links provide quick access to internal resources, external resources, and institutional tools for you and instructors.
Notes:
- When you copy a course containing a link to an external resource, the link remains functional in the new course.
- When you copy a course containing a link to an internal resource, Canvas automatically updates references to point to the new course.
- When you export a course, Canvas includes links in the exported course content.
- Links cannot be edited after they are added. You must delete the existing link and create a new one to make changes.
