Files
There are several ways in which you can upload material into Canvas. One place is the Files area. Files is considered the instructor-facing, backstage area from which you build your course. Files can include course documents, banners, photos, .pdf files, audio/video, and more.
As all materials used to build your course will appear in the Files area, we recommend hiding this area from your students by using the Navigation tab in the Course Settings. Instructions on how to hide navigational links are in the previous video.
