What is TidyUp?
TidyUp is a file clean up tool integrated in Canvas. Instructors and course designers can use it to scan an entire Canvas course to identify and remove unused files and pages.
Please see the UW-Madison’s TidyUp IT service page (Coming Soon) for basic information about features and support.
Tool Functionality Details
Find and Remove Unused Files: TidyUp scans your courses and finds files that are not used in the course. This means that the file is not linked inside of pages or modules.
Use Cases
Using TidyUp with the UDOIT Accessibility Checker can help eliminate extra work. By running TidyUp before UDOIT, you can identify unused files and remove them from the course. Once they are removed, they do not need to be remediated.
Getting Started
For instructions on how to get started with TidyUp, see TidyUP - Getting Started [UW-Madison] from the Learn@UW KnowledgeBase.
