API - Disable Menu Navigation Options

[bscranda]

I'm trying to automate a process where a new course is created that hides all menu navigation options except for Files, but I haven't been able to find an API call that will allow me to do this. Am I just missing this or is this not possible through the API?

The API information for those tabs is located here:

Tabs - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation

I never did figure out how to hide multiple tabs with one call so I always just did it separately for each item.

It uses a PUT command for the URL, so here is an example on how to hide the "Assignments" tab:

<yourinstitution>.instructure.com/courses/<course#>/tabs/assignments?hidden=true

I figured it was just something I was missing, thank you!

If you figure out how to hide more than one at a time, let me know!
