Button Question

[TwylaEvans]

I am trying to add a button next to the "Next" button seen at the bottom of the page.  Is this possible?  It is outside the actual "editable" area, so I am not sure how this can be done.  Please advise.

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!

This may need to be something I talk with the administrators about.  It's actually a button that will be used to provide a "Module View" of the content.  While I know there is already an option for this in the navigation area, several of our students use smaller devices to complete assignments.  We wanted to provide them with the easiest--and most visual--options we could think of.  I went ahead and created an image and linked it to the module view.  It works nicely for our purposes.  But, it may be something handy look in to for future courses.  Thank you for the help!
