TidyUp from Cidi Labs is a content cleanup tool for Canvas courses. It provides a quick way to view all your course content and clean out anything that is no longer needed. You can identify and delete extra files, folders, pages, or assignments that are no longer needed to make your course easier to manage and more usable for you and your students!
Converting Word documents into Canvas pages, assignments, or other content can be really valuable for students navigating Canvas courses. Students using the Canvas mobile app often have trouble accessing Word files from their mobile devices; these issues are less likely to occur when the content is built in the Canvas Rich Content Editor (RCE). It can also make things easier on the instructor by eliminating many of the steps needed to update content or instructions.
Happy holidays!

This page details the PowerPoint-specific accessibility concerns. Be sure to review the issues listed on the Microsoft Office page as well.
