How to Show/Hide Course Menu Links

Once you’ve created the links for the items you want in your course menu, you might want to change the availability setting for the link. You choose whether or not a course menu link is visible to students. As the instructor, you will always be able to see the links you have created.

If a link has a gray box and a diagonal line next to it, that means the link is not currently visible to students. Empty gray square indicates the page is blank.

A plain gray box indicates that the link contains no content. Gray square with a line through it indicates the link is not visible to students.
