[ARCHIVED] How do I make course banner appear on homepage?

Hola Canvas,

First of all, thank you for your support.

I just designed a banner for my Winter 2020 intersession.

How do I make it appear on the course homepage?

Please let me know. 

Paz,

Jay

Hello there,  @jay_lewenstein  Thank You for posting your question.  I'll assume that you've already created a content page via your "Pages" screen.  I'll also assume that you've designated that page to be your "Front Page" of your course.  In your page that you'd like to add your banner to, edit the page, and then there are a couple different ways you can insert that image wherever you want:

• How do I embed images from Canvas into the Rich Content Editor as an instructor?
• How do I insert course images into the Rich Content Editor using the Content Selector as an instruct...

I hope these resources will be of help to you, Jay.  Please sing out if you have any questions about this information...thanks!

Hola Chris,

I followed your information the best I could to arrange a welcoming image in my homepage.

• I went to "View All Pages." I created a page. It looks like this:

( We are reading an anthology of fiction and poetry inspired by Marilyn Monroe.)

• I was able to click on the appropriate icon to select "Use as Front Page." It looks like this:[cid:d5529b93-59c4-4c3e-9f92-cc331c232b58]

• But, now when I click on "Home," I don't see my banner. It looks like this:

Can you help me? Did I miss a step?

Please let me know.

Thank you for your support.

Paz,

Hi  @jay_lewenstein - there is one extra step.

When you open your course now go to the far right column where you will see a list of buttons.

The second one down is Choose Home Page. Click that. 

Then five options will appear. If you have chosen a page to be your home page then fill in the circle on the left hand side of that option.

This will set your desired page to be the Home Page.

It's a wee bit confusing with that last step. But you only have to do it once.

Sing out if you need a hand.

Gracias Bobby,

That works.

I'm so Happy!

Keep up the great work.
