How to Customize Tabs

Question:I wish I could... get rid of the course site tabs I no longer need!

 		  

You can! Thumbs up!

All users (instructors and students) control what sites you see on your navigation bar.

Ideally, instructors should disable their course sites after the term is over, but some like to leave them open longer for students to return and review materials, or possibly final grades.

To make sites tabs invisible after a term has ended, do the following:

  • Click on My Workspace (first tab on the navigation bar, once logged on)
  • Click on Preferences
  • Click on Customize tabs
  • Move the course sites you don't want included in your navigation bar to left window
  • Don't forget to save your changes!

 

Note: You may select and move over to the invisible tabs more than one course site at the same time by holding down the CTRL key (Apple key on the Mac) and clicking on the arrows. To move all your sites to the invisible tabs window, click on the double arrows.

Additionally, you can change the order that your sites appear on your navigation menu (i.e. move down old term sites, move your more active sites to first position, etc.). To order how your course tabs appear on your navigation menu, do the following:

  • Click on My Workspace
  • Click on Preferences
  • Click on Customize tabs
  • Change the order, using the up and down arrows.
  • Don't forget to save your changes (see button at the bottom!)

 

Note: You may select and move up or down on the list more than one course at a time by holding down the CTRL key (Apple key on the Mac) and clicking on the appropriate arrows.
