Hello,
I'm looking to change my dashboard from list view to card view. I've searched the canvas guides to see how I'm supposed to be able to change the views, but I don't have the options menu. Did I somehow make the options menu disappear? If so, how do I get it back?
I've included screenshots in my post so you can understand what I'm talking about. If you need any more information please ask.
Solved! Go to Solution.

HI Candace,
If you have resized your screen and tried a different browser (Chrome is the preferred browser for Canvas), you might want to reach out to your institution's Canvas admin. There is an Admin setting where the default view can be locked by the admin under Admin settings. See screenshot. Hope this helps.
