How do I get my view to be the same as my students?
Solved! Go to Solution.
There should be a link on the lower right under Import from commons, new announcement etc, that is called 'Student View' though not available on mobile for some reason...

Hello there, @bradford_houk ...
I agree with @gwhipple , and I've marked his response as "Correct". Please check out the following Guide, as I think it might help to answer your question: How do I view a course as a test student using Student View?.
Good luck! My experience is that I do not always see what the students see when using so-called student view. You can get a test account through your local canvas administration that will function much better than the so-called student view. The downside is you seem to need a test student for each course that you want to actually test/view as a student. Kind of klunky, but there it is.
Cheers,
Elizabeth
