Moving a hidden course menu link

[AlYankee]

As instructor, I have "Pages" hidden in my Course Menu, so that students can't access the link.  However, I use the link daily, and would very much like it to be visible to me near the top of the Course Menu.

Is there a way for an instructor to have a hidden link in the upper part of the course menu?

Hi @AlYankee ...

By default, if you hide any of the course navigation menu buttons (so there is a crossed-out eye icon next to the name), they will appear below any of your "active" buttons that students can see.  You could certainly move it to the top of your hidden items, but I'm not sure if you could move it all the way to the top of your navigation menu.

How do I manage Course Navigation links?

Chris - thanks for the response.  You've correctly identified the situation.

Maybe somebody has a method for selectively hiding a link without inactivating it.  This is what Canvas does automatically with "Modules," for instance, if you unpublish all of the modules.
