Customise 'Search the Canvas guides' in Help section

[Claudia_O]

Hello,

does anyone know if it possible to customise the 'Search the Canvas' Guide' from the account help section  and add another image instead of the Panda? I see there is an option to remove this section but I wanted to check if anyone has succeeded in customizing it. 

Thanks!

Hi @Claudia_O,

When it comes to customizing the "Help" area, you are limited to what is supported when following the How do I customize the Canvas Help Menu for an account? - Instructure Community - 127  support article.

When it comes to the "Search the Canvas Guides" link, in a supported way, I have the ability to edit:

1. the name of the link
2. the description of the link
3. a few other things, such as who it is available to based on their role(s) in any courses
4. when something is featured or new
5. the headline

In a way that is supported by Canvas itself, it is not possible to edit the image.

If you were to use your web browser's inspect or developer tools, it is possible to find the source of the current image (it is an SVG file) and you might be able to (in a way that would not be supported by Canvas) change the image that is used but you would need to inject some sort of customized code to do it.
