    Login to Canvas
    Select the course you would like to edit.
    Begin by setting the Home Page students will see. Click "Choose Home Page"
    Click "Pages Front Page" (This should be set as "Home Page" shown in italics)
    Click "Save"
    Now, edit the home page for the course!
    Edit using the [Rich Content Editor](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/What-is-the-Rich-Content-Editor-RCE/ta-p/12)
    Now it's time to update the "About Your Teacher" and "Help & Support" links/buttons on the page so they accurately open to your imported pages. If you don't update these, they will be broken for your students. (The "Class Overview," "Canvas Student App," and "Learning Modules" links/buttons will not need to be updated)
    For example, if you click "About Your Teacher,"
    Then you will receive an error message because what is linked doesn't exist in the course you are working with.
    Let's fix that link! Start by clicking "About Your Teacher"
    Next, click "Link Options"
    Double-click the "Link" field and delete the old URL
    Right-click on your course title at the top to open it in a new tab and then switch to that tab.
    To track down the correct "About Your Teacher" page, click "Pages"
    Click "View All Pages"
    Click "About Your Teacher" to open it. Copy the URL from the toolbar and then switch back to the other Canvas tab you are in the process of editing
    Click the "Link" field and paste the URL
    Click "Done"
    Use that same URL to update the orange "About Your Teacher" button.
