Managing Calendars in Canvas


Customizing your calendar view in Canvas makes it easy to manage entering due dates and scheduling course reminders for multiple courses.
Calendar Sidebar

Toggle between courses. Remember that you don’t have to navigate away from the calendar page to access all of your course calendars. In the sidebar on the right side of the page, click the color boxes to show or hide each course’s calendar contents. When the color is active [1], the calendar contents for that course will display on the calendar, and when the color is gray [2], the calendar contents are hidden.

Color code your courses. You can change the color scheme of the course calendar by clicking the three dots to the right of the course name [3]. Choose from one of the 15 default colors, or set a custom color by entering a Hex code [4].

Note: Changing the color scheme in the calendar view will also change the color of the course’s tile on the Dashboard.
