[ARCHIVED] How can I click on the closed eye icon?

[anthony_swanson]

Hi, 

Several of my canvas icons have the closed eye over them. I keep clicking on the closed eye to make certain parts of Canvas visible to students, but I still cannot make some content visible. Can you please help thanks?

Welcome to the Canvas Community!!!

The "eye" icons are not clickable. They are just a visual indication that the tool is not available to students.  On the navigation menu, you will need to go to Settings > Navigation tab to make items available.

Hi  @anthony_swanson  Welcome to the Canvas Community!

That icon is part of the New Gradebook's Grade Posting Policy feature, and works considerably differently than the legacy gradebook's mute/unmute feature.
