how to view two canvas shells side-by-side?

[kona · Accepted solution]

 @cminet , greetings! The best way to do that is with dual monitors - one shell on each screen (this is what I regularly do). If you don't have this option, then you could split your screen and look at one on each side of your screen.

Here's a video showing how to do this on a PC - YouTube 

And an article explaining how to do this - How to Split Your Screen in Windows 10 | Digital Trends 

You'd want to open up each course in a new window and then follow the directions above.

Hope this helps! Kona

Hi Kona,

Thank you so much! Another question, how could I delete numerous pages that I imported by accident from another course? I saw that I could delete them individually, but there are at least 75! Is it possible to select them all by a key stroke or something?

best,

Cynthia

Good morning, @cminet ...

Yes, Canvas now has a way to bulk delete Pages in your course (not Assignments, Discussions, or Quizzes).  Here is a Guide for you on how to do that:

• How do I delete pages in a course?

Also, @James has developed another way to delete Pages from a course via a Google spreadsheet.  This is a "Canvancement" (Canvas Enhancement) that he made a while back prior to Instructure releasing their own interface to bulk delete Pages from a course, but there are still some great elements of James' process that can be used today: Bulk Publish / Delete Pages.

I hope these resources will be of help to you.  Take care, stay safe, and be well.
