[Course Navigation] Improve Navigation for Course Builders
The Pages course navigation link/shortcut sends course builders first to the Home/Front Page, requiring an extra step/upper button click to reach the global list of all course pages. When faculty and IDs are clicking through the Pages course navigation link/shortcut, 99% of the time, it is to reach a specific course page (rarely the Home/Front Page). Note: As a rule, we do not enable the Pages course navigation link/shortcut for students; it only serves to facilitate course building. All pages that students need to view are made accessible through the course modules in which they reside.
Swap the behavior of the Pages course navigation link/shortcut; have it take users directly to the the global list of all course pages, and have the extra step/upper button serve to take the user to the Home/Front Page as (far less frequently) needed. It seems like a minor annoyance (it is just one extra click, after all), but we begin to begrudge Canvas the seconds lost, repeatedly, across our busy course building work days; simply trying to quickly access specific course pages.
