Course development is a lengthy process. Speed-up the process by using these shortcuts and tips!

Adding a Heading Style?

No need to highlight the whole sentence.

Simply place the mouse cursor on the line that has the phrase or word, then apply the appropriate heading.

I Accidentally Deleted Something - Help!

No problem. Here are two scenarios that may happen to you in Canvas.

1. "I Accidentally Deleted Something On a Page!"

Use View Page History.

View Page History (Links to an external site.) allows you to see and revert to previous versions of the page. This tip is particularly helpful when you begin to bedazzle your pages with HTML, and it doesn't look the way you intended. This Canvas feature is a time-saving "Undo" button.

2. "I Deleted a Page or Module!"

That's scary.

No worries. Call Canvas Support as soon as you can. Canvas can retrieve up to the last 50 items deleted in your course.
