1. Navigate to Your Blog Settings: Go to the 'Sites and Blogs' section in your blog management platform.

2. Select the Blog: Click on the name of the blog you wish to update.

3. Access Canonical Settings: Look for the three dots menu next to the 'New Post' option. Click on it to find the canonical settings.
