In Short

In addition to the Reserves link from the left course menu where your students can access all course Reserve items, you can also provide a direct link to a single reserve item, for example in a Module, on a page, an announcement or an assignment. Just about anywhere in your Canvas course where you can access a rich content editor. You can also add Reserves into Modules by using the External Tool option. In doing so, you provide an easier and more user-friendly experience for students to navigate your course reserves items.
