TidyUp

TidyUp is a course cleanup tool for Canvas to help you identify and remove unused files, outdated content, duplicates, and empty folders.

TidyUP allows you to do the following in any Canvas course:

1. Identify and delete all files that are not being used in your course.
2. See which files are used in your course and where.
3. Find empty folders in the files section of your course and delete them.
4. View a list of all your Canvas pages, assignments, quizzes, or discussions with information about each page and the ability to delete multiple pages at once.

To get started with TidyUP, review the following training resources:

TidyUp is accessible from your course navigation menu. The first time you select TidyUp, you may be prompted to authorize "Cidi Labs TidyUp." Click "Authorize" to proceed.
