Canvas Page Folders Extension

Allows organisation of Pages into folders in Canvas LMS

Please see https://youtu.be/aziV_vbLRsE for instruction video

This extension allows you to create folders and sub-folders in which to organise Canvas Pages. Folders can be renamed, moved or deleted. The extension checks for updates to the pages such as renaming, creation or deletion, on a regular and customisable basis.

In an experimental feature, folder structures can also be shared between users who have the extension installed, in which case a designated page will serve as storage for the structure information and with which the users' folder info can be synced.

Please note: Presently, only Canvas spaces hosted by domains of the type
*.instructure.com/*
can use the extension, with the addition of the following:
canvas.gu.se/*
canvas.qub.ac.uk/*
canvas.wisc.edu/*
canvas.wu.ac.at/*
canvas.brown.edu/*

If you wish to have another host URL incorporated in the list of supported hosts, please write a request to [email protected].

Matt Thomas (ID: 000000e9b0ed54e1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/20/2021 Thank you for this extension! It adds functionality to Canvas pages that should be native, but this is the next best thing.

Ron Bowman (ID: 0000001ab85114f5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/26/2021 Excellent extension for allowing instructors to change the way their pages are viewed. Instructors can create a folder based view of all their pages. Great for courses with a lot of pages.
