Enabling moderation in your Canvas course's Media Gallery will require student media submissions to receive instructor approval before publishing to the gallery. If you do not want your Media Gallery to be collaborative or are concerned about abuse, turn on moderation to prevent student submissions from appearing without your consent.
If you have not yet enabled your Canvas course’s Media Gallery, you must first unhide the Media Gallery link in your Canvas course’s navigation menu. Please see this Canvas guide page with instructions for managing course navigation links.
