Is there a way for students to view assignments in Elementary view without the assignment being attached to a module or page?

Hi @LauraWolf ,

Thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!

Are your elementary courses using the 'Canvas for Elementary' theme, where it changes the entire course design? If so, after doing some testing myself, that it has to be connected to a module or linked to a page.

When I went into the course settings, there was no option for 'Assignments' to be enabled, however when I went into the course settings I was able to see the side navigation, and Assignments is enabled.

What I recommend doing is maybe at the top of a module, add an external link item and attach the link to the assignments section of your course. The url you would enter will likely look like this: yourschool.instructure.com/courses/12345/assignments. Copy that url and add it to the module and you should be good to go! I honestly don't see any other work around, it's strange how they don't have an Assignments button available on the Subject home.

Hope this helps, always feel free to reach out with any additional questions or concerns, we're here to help!

Best,
Noah
