Testing your course with Student View

Congratulations! You've made it through building your Canvas course. Before we move on to publishing, it is always a good idea to start on the home page of your course and work your way through the entire course the same way one of your students would. Canvas has designed a Student View feature that allows you to see exactly what your course will look like to students. To access your course through Student View, complete the following steps:

1. Click on the Home link on the left Course Navigation Menu.
2. On the Home page, click the Student View button above the right Sidebar menu as pictured in the following screenshot. This button also appears in the top-right corner of several other features throughout Canvas. Any time you see this button or the eyeglasses icon on Canvas, you can click it to access Student View:
