Your Canvas Dashboard consists of three main elements:

1. The actual Dashboard defaults to the course view, which provides access and updates in favorited courses.

2. The Global Navigation Menu on the left provides quick links to all main Canvas areas and can be accessed from any area in Canvas.

3. The Sidebar helps you see what you need to do next and what feedback you've received across all your courses (more details below).

The Sidebar helps keep you on track!

The Recent Feedback section shows assignments with feedback from your instructor during the last four weeks. The View Grades button links to the Dashboard Grades page and displays grades for all active courses.
