How can I check if my course links in Canvas need to be updated?

Answer

The link validation tool in Canvas will quickly identify any broken proxy links.

To use this tool:

  1. Navigate to the course you’d like to check links 
  2. In the Course Menu, click Settings
  3. On the right-hand side of the Settings page, click the Validate Links in Content link
  4. Click the Start Link Validation button. Depending on the size of the course, this may take awhile
  5. From the report, you can see if any links are broken and jump to the course page to fix them.
  6. Refer to the FAQs for help addressing broken links
