If your Canvas Dashboard feels cluttered with too many courses, you can customize which courses appear by marking them as favorites. You can favorite any published course that appears in the My Courses section on the course list page and in the Card View Dashboard.
By default, if you have no courses favorited, the list will show up to 20 courses alphabetically. This cannot be reordered manually. Once you favorite at least one course, only your favorite courses will appear in the list
In Global Navigation, click the Courses link [1], then click the All Courses [2].
To favorite a course, click the star next to a course [1]. Filled stars show that the course is a favorite [2].
After you have manually favorited at least one course, Canvas will automatically favorite any new published course enrollments for you.
Note: Only active courses can be favorited.
Unpublished courses cannot be favorited, even if you're allowed to view unpublished courses before the participation dates. Hovering over the star icon for an unpublished course will display a message indicating that the course cannot be added as a favorite.
Note: Future and past enrollments cannot be favorited.
