page not showing as an option to add to module

A few times now I have created a page and then am not able to see it in my list of pages when I want to add it to a module. Logging in/out, waiting 20 hours, publishing/unpublishing none of it seems to make a difference. I can see it in the list of pages when I look at all of them but it does not show as an option to select and add to a module.

To make it more perplexing, others can add it. I asked a person with a 'designer' designation in the course and they were able to see it on their options and add it to the module. Another time, a discussion section leader who has a 'teacher' designation (like I do) was able to see and add the page I created to the module while it still would not appear as an option for me. This is a big problem in the course since I am the person who is most likely to make pages with new content that students need to access in specific modules. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hello @boocanvas 

We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with adding pages to a module. What you described certainly sounds like abnormal behavior especially if another user with a designated "Teacher Role" is also able to see the pages. Because of this, there is a good likelihood it may be your browser or device. We would suggest clearing the cache and cookies and/or trying another browser altogether. 

Additionally, depending on the amount of pages you have in the course, you will likely need to scroll down to find it. Because the box is a fixed size, the list of assignments, pages, or files will extend downwards. 

Here is the Canvas guide:
