The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
Has anyone made sub-menus in the global Help menu? We are trying to provide so many resources for students that the main Help menu is getting quite long.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yup...we had to scale back the number of custom links we had created in our "Help" menu a while back. If you are a Canvas admin, you might want to consider creating a public course (so that you don't have to enroll people), and then create a custom link that points to that course. Then, you can build the course however you want with all kinds of resources for your students and/or instructors. We actually have two courses like this...one called "Faculty Toolkit" and the other called "Student Toolkit" ... and both include helpful college and Canvas resources for them.
Hope this helps. Sing out if you have any other questions.
