The first thing you should do before publishing the course is to edit the Course Navigation. Unlike Blackboard, the instructor control of the Canvas Course Navigation is a bit more restrictive.

Course Navigation items include:

Home (Required)
Announcements
Assignments
Attendance (Hidden unless made available)
Chat (Hidden unless made available)
Collaborations
Conferences
Discussions
Files
Grades
Modules
Outcomes
People
Pages
Quizzes
Syllabus
Settings (Visible to Instructors and TAs)

Instructors can reorder the tabs and even hide some of them. Tabs cannot be renamed. The purpose of this restriction is to attempt to streamline and simplify the menu options presented to students.
