De-cluttering your Canvas course - turns out it's important!

Discover how to declutter your Canvas course with Cidi Labs TidyUP and Atomic Search.

Over time, courses can become cluttered with duplicated files, outdated content, and unused pages due to updates, rollovers, and modifications. TidyUP simplifies the cleanup process by scanning your Canvas course for unpublished pages and unlinked files, allowing you to delete them efficiently.

Atomic Search takes it a step further by helping you locate specific words or phrases throughout your course. It can even replace text and HTML, making content updates quick and easy.
