CHECKING FOR BROKEN LINKS HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER!

Make sure students have access to all your course content and resources. Use the Canvas Link Validator to verify external links throughout your course.

The Link Validator searches course content and reveals invalid or unresponsive external links in both published and unpublished content.
