To create a button, I'm going to go to another tab to use a presentation tool. It could be Google Slides, PowerPoint, or Canva. I'm going to use Google Slides, and I'm going to get a blank slide and create a square. You could use any shape that you like; you can use any image that you like. I'm going to fill my square in, customize the color, and then I can type in my square and edit the font. Now I have created an image that students could click on a page to get back to home.

But I first need to screenshot the image. Then I'm going to go back to Canvas, select the image icon, select "Upload Image," and click on the spaceship to find my screenshot. I click submit, and I now have an image on the page. I can make it a little bit smaller or put it inside a table if I want to have multiple images on the page.

In order to link it and make it an actual button, I'm going to click on the image and then click on the link icon. If I wanted to link it to an external link, to something outside of Canvas, I would choose "External Links." If I wanted to link it to something within Canvas pages, I want this to link back to my home page, so I'm going to click "Home."

Now I can save and publish, and I see that if I click on this image, it takes me to the home page. A good practice to use when creating buttons is to, after you're finished, click on "Student View." I'm going to go back and look at that page and try to click the button, and I see that it's working well. This is a good way to catch any pages that aren't published before your students view them. It's always a good practice to look at everything in student view before you present it to students.
