Course Wizard –

- About the Course Wizard for Canvas – IU KB
- Notes:
- The Course Setup Wizard is available only in unpublished Canvas courses and can be completed only once per course; if you want to start over with a different choice, you must reset the course first. For more on resetting course content, see Reset your Canvas course content and settings.
- If you ordered any course materials (a stand-alone eText, publisher courseware, or a digital learning tool) through the IU eTexts initiative, and those materials have been deployed to your Canvas site, resetting your course will disable the links to them.
- You may re-enable the stand-alone eText link for Engage on your own . You must request a re-enable of the courseware or digital learning tools link . There is no guarantee how fast this can be done.
