Update the Visual Template Home Page
The Visual Template comes with a pre-styled homepage containing a general university image and replaceable banner text. Be sure to change the course number and title. Changing the image is optional.
Customize the course number and title
On the home page, there is a placeholder where you need to add your course name and number. That section is currently populated with default text ("Text##" and "Front Page"). To update this information:
Click the Edit button at the top of the page
Click the rocket ship icon in the top right corner (this launches the "Design Tools" in Canvas)
From the "Design Tools," expand the Create/Edit Content section and look for the option to Customize Banner Text
Type the course prefix (ex. BIOL) in the Unit Name textbox
Type the course number (ex. 1010) in the Unit Number textbox
Finally, put the course name (ex. Biology and the Citizen) in the Content Title section
Make sure to Save your changes when you're done
