Solved: [ARCHIVED] Where to put links to School Resources? - Instructure Community - 478088

This discussion post is outdated and has been archived. Please use the Community question forums and official documentation for the most current and accurate information.

In our old LMS we had the ability to post general information in different areas on our dashboard page. We had a tab for things like IT Tips and Resources, Library Resources, Virtual Learning Resources, etc. Is there a way to add something like that without creating a Course? We don't want to clutter the dashboard but we want this information to be readily available.

Thanks!

You can add custom links to the "Help" menu. More info here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-customize-the-Canvas-Help-Menu-for-an-accoun...

Alternatively, you can also post a global announcement which will always appear on top of the Dashboard (Unless students remove it)
