How do you change the navigation pane grouping option?

Right-click the top of the Navigation Pane and then select Navigation Options. In the Categories list, select the appropriate category. In the Groups for <Category> list, select the group that contains the hidden object. Clear the check box next to the object.

How do I hide menu items in canvas?

In the upper left corner of most Canvas pages, directly to the left of the Canvas course name, look for the “hamburger” icon (three parallel lines). To hide or display the course navigation menu, toggle the icon.
