Canvas includes a tool to scan your course content and check for invalid or unresponsive links in both published and unpublished course content. The link validator also includes deleted links. Deleted links are links that are still in the course, but their linked content has been deleted (such as a course file or page). Finally, the link validator can find links that are pointing to other courses where students would not be able to access that content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, a link checker tool is included in the DesignPLUS sidebar that lets you know of broken links in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#using-the-canvas-link-validator\">Using the Canvas Link Validator<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#designplus-link-checker\">DesignPLUS Link Checker<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#additional-resources\">Additional Resources<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"using-the-canvas-link-validator\">Using the Canvas Link Validator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log in to your Canvas course.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Course Navigation, click the <strong>Settings<\/strong> link.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <strong>Validate Links in Content<\/strong> on the right side of the screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One of two buttons will be visible. If you are scanning your course for the first time, click on the <strong>Start Link Validation<\/strong> button. If you have scanned your course before, click on the <strong>Restart Link Validation<\/strong> button. Depending on the amount of content in your course, it may take a few minutes for Canvas to scan your course for potential issues with hyperlinks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When Canvas finishes scanning your course, you will see a listing of course content with links that may need your attention. For example, you may see something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"744\" height=\"248\" src=\"http:\/\/campus.collegeforcreativestudies.edu\/ed-tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/53\/2024\/09\/LinkValidator.png\" alt=\"A screenshot of the Link Validator results displays a list of broken or inaccessible links found within course content.

However, Canvas found that two of the links on that page, <strong>Teaching with Technology<\/strong> and <strong>Faculty Support<\/strong>, are pointing to Canvas content pages that have not yet been published in the course. Therefore, students would not be able to access those two resources in the course.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>Faculty Resource Hub &#8211; link<\/strong> page includes a link to a page called <strong>Canvas Resources<\/strong>. However, the instructor had copied and pasted the <strong>Canvas Resources<\/strong> link from a past semester course to a current semester course. Even though the link appears to work properly for the instructor, it will not work properly for students. This is because the instructor has access to both the past course semester and the current semester course. Students, on the other hand, are not enrolled in both of these courses. When students click on the <strong>Canvas Resource<\/strong> link, they will get an error message because the link points to the instructor&#8217;s past course. In order to fix links like this, it is recommended to follow the instructions in this Guide vs. copying and pasting links from course to course:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div
