My students can't see my Syllabus and some of my other course files. How do I unlock them?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi larry.haydu, you are off to a good start with the points that @heather_stockfo Thank You mentioned.
Perhaps you have hidden Syllabus in the course navigation. This guide will help you make it visible if that is the case

Sing out if you need a hand.
Hello Larry Haydu
A couple of items to check in this matter:
1. Your syllabus is "published".
2. Be certain that you syllabus is readable within your "Files": https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-12771-415241391
Well I checked my files and they are all published. I have an eye with a line through it next to “Syllabus” on my class home page.

Thanks all, I found where the files were locked in the navigation tab and corrected it.
