Canvas Modules Organiser Extension

(Previous name: \"Canvas Modules Compactor\")

Features:

• Compression:Based on the indentation level formatting of individual Module items on the Canvas LMS Modules page, this extension allows for collapsing more indented items \"below\" those of less indented items in a hierarchical fashion. This facilitates better and more concise overview of the Module contents. Collapsing can be done at item, module or page level using different controls. Modules can also be \"tagged\" with a short text defined and styled by the user.
• As of version 1.0, module items as well as entire modules can be tagged, and tags can be stored for re-use.
• As of version 1.0, contextual menus can be used as an alternative to hovering over extension icons to bring forward the extension menus.
• The extension can also group modules in \"boxes\" or \"tabs\" (in v 0.9 +)for even better overview, and users can add their own text tags to modules
• As of v 0.6 custom indentation is supported.

Ron Bowman (ID: 0000001ab85114f5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/25/2021 This extension works as advertised. Very easy to figure out how to use. Time for Canvas to implement this feature so that we don't have to run an external extension. Thank you Dan
