I have a Canvas Page that when I save it it add "-2" at the end of the title even though I did not type "-2" into the Page Title field. Why is this happening and how can I get rid of or prevent this issue?
Solved! Go to Solution.
If you check your PAGES list, I suspect you have another page in the course named Start Here! Canvas is adding the -2 because there can't be 2 pages in the same course with exactly the same name. You can rename or delete the other page to allow you to remove the -2 from your current page. Or rename the current page.
