The Course Navigation Menu is a series of links on the left side of your course that help you and your students access different course areas. As an instructor, you can control which links appear in Course Navigation and which ones are hidden from students.

Use the following Canvas Guides to manage your Course Navigation settings and visibility:
Please note the hidden visibility "eyecon" is not available for third-party integrations (LTIs). Some external tools are only available to instructors—not students. Examples include:
If you are unsure whether an LTI menu item is visible to students, you can use Student View to preview the course site from the students' perspective. See the instructions in the Canvas Guide: How do I view a course as a test student using Student View?
