As an instructor, you can control which links appear in Course Navigation. By default, all links are enabled for all courses. Please note that links cannot be renamed.
Links to sections that don't have any content and that students cannot create content for will not be shown to students and will be faded for your view. For example, if there are no learning outcomes set for the course, you will see the faded Outcomes link, but students will not see the link at all. Configured External Apps may create additional Course Navigation links.
If you are using the New Canvas User Interface, reordering and hiding Course Navigation links affects the course tabs in the Dashboard course view. Learn more about the new Dashboard.
