Show or Hide Course Navigation Links

In Canvas courses, you can show or hide your left-hand course navigation links. This is a setting per user, not for your entire course.

At the top left-hand corner of your screen, you’ll find a three-lined Menu icon (also referred to as a “hamburger” icon).

A partial screenshot of the upper-left corner of a Canvas course page. A large dark arrow points specifically to the "hamburger" menu icon, represented by three horizontal lines, located immediately to the right of the global navigation bar and next to the course title "Faculty Orientation (Demo...". Below this header, the course navigation menu is visible, listing links such as Home, Simple Syllabus, Modules, Assignments, and Announcements.

Clicking on the Menu icon either displays or hides the course navigation links from your view. Use the left (<) and right (>) arrows below to cycle through an example where the course navigation links are visible or hidden.
