Quick Tip: Managing assignment dates in Canvas

POSTED: Oct. 12, 2022


Updating all your assignment and quiz dates can be time-consuming, so this week’s tip contains two tricks for managing assignment dates more efficiently.

  • Remove dates upon import
    When you import content into a blank course, there is an option to remove the previous availability and due dates. If you remove all dates, there will be no late assignments before class begins and there is no need for you to know every date on day one of class.
     
  • Edit assignment dates in bulk
    If you need to input dates for multiple assignments, try editing assignment dates in bulk. In this one location, you can view and adjust the title of assignment, the due date, and the available from and until dates.
