How to lock a tool in course Navigation tab

[morgan_j]

I am wondering if there is a way to "lock" the Syllabus tool in the course settings Navigation tab?  It was requested to have this tool locked so that instructors could not have the ability to remove the Syllabus tool from the course navigation menu (please see screenshot).

Is code the best way to perform this, and if so, does anyone have any code that they could share?  Or, are there other options that I am not aware of?

Appreciate any help!

Thanks,

Hi @morgan_j,

I do not have a specific answer for you but you might be able to disable the ID (found while doing an inspect of the "Settings > Navigation" webpage) associated with "Syllabus" through custom coding (probably either CSS or JS).

You might also be able to disable the Syllabus ID's "draggable_handle" class and/or "admin-links" class.

Keep in mind that someone could temporarily disable CSS or JS from loading as a way to get around your customization.

Hi @dbrace, and thank you for your reply.  This gives me a good starting point, and I can connect with our programmer to see if they can look into this.  

Thanks again!
