I can control the date and time an announcement starts to by using the "delay posting" option. How do I stop an announcement's display?
Hi @GeorgeCollier ...
Unfortunately, announcement end dates aren't a "thing" in Canvas right now. I know a lot of people have wanted this kind of feature for course announcements, so I'd like to point you to a handful of links:
The first link is part of a larger theme (the second link I provided) for course announcements. When taking a look at the second link, under the heading "Referenced Ideas", you'll see a link to the "Start and End Dates" idea (the first link I provided). I'll encourage you to follow these ideas so that if/when the ideas open for voting in the future, you'll be able to participate in that process and any conversations around the idea. See the section on "Ideas and Themes" here: Community - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com).
I know this might not be an exact answer to your question, but I hope it helps in some way.
Hi @GeorgeCollier ,
If you want to stop an Announcement from displaying while retaining it for potential future use, you can edit the Announcement and use the "delay posting" option to set it for a date well in the future. If/when you are ready to use it again, you can set the date for when you want it to re-appear for users. Unfortunately, as @Chris_Hofer pointed out, there is no way (yet?) to do this automatically; you need to manually edit the post.
Hi everyone, I've got several pages and assignments where I use frames to embed videos and interactive resources. But whenever I go into editing, the formatting in some of them breaks down: the video size shrinks down, or I'm left with an empty blank space. I think I've narrowed down the cause of this issue: Some of these…
The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
