Create Page or Content Block from Design Tools

Use Canvas Design Tools to add material to a page or a block in your Canvas course from a pre-made template.

Learning materials can be added to your Canvas resources by selecting a Design Tools page template. Note: The page template will overwrite whatever content is already on the page.

Content Blocks can also be added to the page in order to add or update a portion of the content on the page.
