Canvas LMS Annoucements

When posting an announcement I have had some instructors that would like to post it only for a few days and then have it disappear from the announcements.  I do not believe that is a feature right now.  Is it possible that this feature could be added?  Under the options on the announcement can someone add a publish date and then an unpublish date?  This may be a very useful use of announcements.

Hi,

You are correct, that is not possible in Course Announcements (that is a feature that is available in Global Announcements)

• How do I add an announcement in a course?

If you would like to suggest a new feature ideas, you can submit them:  

• How do I create a new idea in the Instructure Community?

It does look like someone has submitted ideas very similar to what you are saying:

• [Announcements] Start and End Dates  Submitted by: theresajackson7
• [Announcements] Add Save & Publish button to Annoucements  Submitted by: cdoherty

These are part of this Canvas Theme: 

• Improved functionality for course announcements

 

I don't know where this is in the voting process -- but the good thing is, it does seem to be on the radar!!!
