Do you have a role on Canvas modules that you are not teaching on a day-to-day basis? If so, you may be receiving more notifications than you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is now possible to mute the notifications you receive from a module. And soon there will be more options for muting just some types of notifications on a module-by-module basis. This is how you do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Go to the home page of the module that you want to mute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. From the panel on the right, select View Course Notifications.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Use the toggle button to disable notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. When you return to the home page, the panel will now show the notification icon (bell) crossed through to show that notifications are muted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can turn them back on at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
