Hi,
I am editing an existing course which has links to sites we no longer use. I am deleting a lot of what is on the page and then adding new information. In the most part this is fine. However, when I hit save and view the page, I can still see a link on the page to a program we don't want to use anymore. When I go to edit the page I cannot see anything to delete.
Thanks for your help.

You might have a blank space that is hyperlinked. When that happens to me, I look in the HTML and delete the code.
If you aren't comfortable with HTML, try copying the text into a text editor such as notepad. Then delete the text in Canvas, and paste the text back from Notepad. Copy/pasting from the notepad should remove any unwanted hyperlinks and formatting.
You could also try the Clear Formatting tool in the Text Editor, but I can't remember if that will clear out a hyperlink.
