Hello community!
In the side menu of the courses, I'm trying to change the name of "modules" to "Start your Course", but my Javascript is not working. Has anyone had this case and can help me?

Hi there, @RaianeSilva ...
I can understand why there might be a need/want to change the course navigation menu names...one of which is to make things as easy as possible for your students to know where to begin. Thus, the reason for the custom name of your menu button. However, IMHO, it's important to keep in mind that custom names won't appear in any of the official Canvas documentation. So, for example:
- Modules written guides for instructors
- Modules written guides for students
- Modules Overview (Instructors) - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
Have you considered making your "Modules" page the first page your students will see when the log into your course or when they click on the "Home" page?
How do I change the Course Home Page? - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)
That might be another option for you, and you could have a module at the top of the page that includes any content you want students to read right away. Then, they can go through each of your other modules from there. Just a thought...and maybe you are already doing something similar already.
Anyway...my $0.02 for what it's worth. Let Community members know if you have more questions about this...thanks!
