All content in Canvas must be published and placed in a published module to be viewed by students. If an item is not placed in a module, or if the item and/or module is unpublished, students will not be able to see it.
You can find instructions on adding items to modules in our Add Items to Modules tutorial.
Once the item is added, check that both it and the module are published. There should be a green check mark to the right of the Module and item names. If no green check mark is present, click on the crossed-out circle icon to the right of the item or module name to publish.
