How do I view my recent page view history in Canvas?

[#1]

As a student, you can view a list of your recent Canvas course page views from the History link in Global Navigation. The Recent History list displays page view history within the most recent three weeks.

Notes:

• If you are an instructor and you remove a page from a course, Recent History displays the page view, but the link is longer valid. Course content should be completed and verified before the course is published for students.
• If you are an admin, your Recent History displays a list of pages you have viewed for yourself directly in Canvas courses. Additionally, acting as a user displays the recent history for the user, not the page views you create.
• Page history displayed in Recent History is identical to the information found in a user's page views or the user access report.
• Recent history does not work in Canvas beta and test environments. If you open Recent History in either environment, a link to the Canvas Guides article about using the beta or test environments displays.
