Hide or show menu items

In some courses, you can hide menu items from students in the course menu. For example, you can hide a content page until you want students to see it. You can show or hide a menu item at any time.

In the course menu, items that show the hidden from students icon are instructor-only resources or menu items and are hidden from students.

To hide an item in your instructor view of the course menu, as well as your students' course menu, you instead archive the menu item. Later you can restore the menu item.

To hide a menu item in the student view:

  1. If available in your course, select Manage Course from the course menu so that Edit Course Menu becomes active.
  2. On the Edit Course Menu page, use Visible to students for the menu item row that you want to hide. If needed, select the expand icon to expand submenu (child) items.

    You can also hide or show menu items as you add new menu items.
