What are Pages?
Pages are where you can put content and educational resources that are part of your course but don’tnecessarily belong in an assignment, or that you want to refer to in multiple assignments. This is a placewhere you can include text, video, and links to your files. You can even make links to other pages. Pagesare essentially wikis with a more usable interface. Canvas keeps the entire history of the page so you cansee how it changes over time.

Edit or Create Pages
You can edit Pages [1] to create links to other parts of your course. Or you can create a new page [2] with text,images, media, links, and/or other files. You can put Pages into Modules for students to view.
