Can groups colors be changed to match the courses they are associated with?

[Ging71]

I have many groups with my current courses and they are titled similarly. Is there a way to change their colors and nicknames like you can with the course cards?

Additionally, is there a way to automatically add group assignments to your calendar so they show on your To-Do list? Or is this just done manually currently?

Hello @Ging71 

I was able to test this out. It looks like you cannot do this for student groups, unfortunately. You can customize the color for the group items in your personal Canvas calendar. HERE is a guide on how to do that. 

For the To Do list, you can add certain items you create in the group to the To Do list. You can do this with Discussions when you set one up. There is an option To Add to Student To-Do that can be selected. If your instructor is adding assignments for your group to complete in their course, they should automatically appear in your To Do list. The To Do section shows up to seven items with due dates or event dates in the upcoming weeks, including ungraded quizzes, assignments that do not require a Canvas submission, and course announcements. 

Hopefully this helps!

I figured it out! It can be done from the calendar screen. If you click the group in the side list of courses in the calendar, it will let you change the color there! Hopefully this helps others.
