Starting Spring 2025, “Montclair Syllabus” (Simple Syllabus) will be the only syllabus menu item in Canvas courses. The native Canvas syllabus tool will not be available in Spring 2025 courses and future semesters. It will be available for Fall 2024 and prior semester courses.
Note: Selecting “All Content” when copying a Canvas course will copy the course menu layout. If you were not previously using “Montclair Syllabus,” it will become hidden. To prevent this from happening, use the “Select Specific Content” option for your course copy and then do not select “Settings” for copying. This ensures “Montclair Syllabus” does not become hidden.
Follow the documentation below if you need to reenable “Montclair Syllabus” and/or if you wish to hide the native Canvas syllabus.
