Favoriting a course will make it appear on your Dashboard and any unfavorited course will be hidden and can only be accessed by clicking Courses >> All Courses in the global navigation. If you have used the favoriting feature, you will not automatically see upcoming semester courses on your Dashboard until you favorite those courses manually to add them to the Dashboard. You will also see prior semester courses you favorited on your Dashboard until you manually remove them from the Dashboard; they are not automatically removed at the end of the semester.
To add or remove courses from the Dashboard, follow the steps below.
- In your Canvas Global Navigation, click Courses, scroll to the bottom of the list and select All Courses.
- Courses with an orange-colored star indicate the course is already favorited and is being displayed on the dashboard
- To favorite a course and add it to the dashboard, click the star next to the name of the course so that it turns orange.
- Instructors can favorite unpublished courses.
- To unfavorite a course and remove it from the dashboard, click the star next to the name of the course so that it turns white.
