Hi @TwylaEvans ...
I don't have a solution for you, but I do have a question or two which might be helpful for others to know who might have some recommendations to you:
- What is the purpose of the button?
- Is this button something only for your course? Or, would it be something that would be used for all courses at your school? I ask because I know that custom JavaScript and/or CSS code can be added to the global JS and CSS files (Canvas administrators have accesses to this), but I don't know if actual buttons would be possible via this method...nor do I know what that code may/may not look like. When code is added in this way, it usually affects all Canvas courses at your school and not just one specific course. This would be a conversation I'd encourage you to have with your school's Canvas administrator or someone from their Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Education department.
- Have you considered putting the button somewhere else on the page....like at the top left or right corner?
If you could provide some answers to these questions, I think that would be helpful for others. Thanks!
