Change from homeroom to dashboard

[AlexanderCurran]

Hello! my kid graduated from elementary to middle and he wants to see if he can change his homepage from homeroom to dashboard because he wants to use the aesthetic google extensions for canvas. Thanks!

Hi @AlexanderCurran ,

Thanks for posting on the instructure community!

As long as he is enrolled in one or more courses that don't use the Canvas for Elementary theme, he can click the 3 dots in the top-right hand corner of the screen (it will be to the left of important dates), and if he clicks on it and sees 'Classic View', he will be able to click on that and switch no problem. If he doesn't see that option, it's likely the school district disabled the functionality for it. I'll attach an image below for reference.

Hope this helps a bit!
