How do I create a badge in Canvas Badges?
Once Canvas Badges/Credentials is added to your course, you can add badges.
Notes:
- To add a badge to a course, you need to access Canvas Credentials setup in the course you would like the badge in.
- You can import badges and pathways into a new course from a previous course. However, you cannot use the Select Specific Content feature to copy badges and pathways and Groups are not copied to the new course.
