Canvas LMS Admins | Managing Default Stukent Navigation Visibility

Depending on an institution's needs, the LMS Admin may want to default the Stukent app to either be hidden or visible in a course's navigation menu. 

Whether you are using a Root-level or Course-level installation, here are the steps to find and update the placement visibility.

PLEASE NOTE: We strongly recommend finalizing these visibility settings before the start of a new semester. Changing this placement setting while a semester is in progress can cause the tool to disappear or appear unexpectedly in active courses, which may confuse instructors and students.

  1. In Canvas, navigate to Admin in the global navigation bar and select your account.
  2. Select Apps in the left menu > Click the Manage tab > Search Stukent > Select the Stukent App.
  1. Click the Configuration tab, then select Edit at the bottom of the page.
  1. Navigate to the Placements section.
    • To keep the tool hidden: Ensure the Default to Hidden option is turned ON. This keeps the course visible navigation menu clean; instructors must go to Settings > Navigation to enable it.
    • To make the tool visible: Ensure the Default to Hidden option is turned OFF. This automatically adds the Stukent link to every course’s visible navigation menu.
  2. Select Update Configuration at the bottom of the page.

You have now updated the visibility of the Stukent tool within instructor's courses. 

If you have any further questions or concerns, please reach out to your Stukent Customer Success Manager, or to Stukent Support at support@stukent.com.
