Identifying and Repairing Broken Links in Your Canvas Course

October 18, 2021

How can I identify broken links in my course, now that Box is no longer available?

You can use the Course Link Validator Tool to determine broken Box links and all other broken links in your Canvas courses. You’ll find the validator tool in each Canvas course in Settings, in the far right menu, titled Validate Links in Content.

Then, find step-by-step instructions on how to update broken links and review other helpful answers for sharing your OneDrive content with students in Canvas in the Information Technology article on Using OneDrive with Canvas.

If you’d like a personal consultation, schedule one with an Instructional Consultant at strategiclrn@bsu.edu to discuss how to best share content with your students in Canvas.

The Division of Online and Strategic Learning provides support and assessment for technology-enhanced teaching and learning for on-campus, online, and blended courses and programs. Our aim is to establish an institute of good practice that all faculty will find useful, formidable, and essential to their aspirations of excellence in teaching.
