Why did the assignment and quiz due dates change locations? Extra clicks? "Manage Assign?" It doesn't make very much sense.

I'm not sure if you've seen this or not, but since @ColtonSwapp initially gave you a response on 7/26/2024, there has been a further update that I think you will be pleased to hear about. I suggest that you take a look at the following blog post which was posted on 7/31/2024:
Updates to the Assign To Interface - Instructure Community - 610506 (canvaslms.com)
I hope this will be helpful to all of you.
Hello again everyone! I wanted to let you know about the Canvas Deploy Notes (2024-08-28) - Instructure Community - 612024 (canvaslms.com) where you can find more details. Instructure will be reverting things back this Wednesday, August 28, 2024.
Hello @ElizabethGarza1
I understand that you have some questions about assigning due/availability dates for your quizzes and assignments in Canvas.
ICYMI: A recent change in the UI for Canvas was pushed out on the 20th and there were a bunch of features that were updated. Throughout the last couple years, our Community members have provided quite a lot of feedback on how to improve certain functions such as this. Most notably, instructors have been requesting the ability to assign Modules and Pages to students for a few years. The most recent release has now made this possible, but it required a workflow change to the functionality of the Assign To box and how it is streamlined within Pages, Modules, Quizzes, Assignments and Discussions.
I know change is scary sometimes and it throws you off your groove. If you would like to add some constructive feedback on these new features, we would love to have you do that HERE.
Hopefully this helps!

I could not agree more, adding more clicks is both annoying and confusing. Really not sure I understand the reason for the change.
100% agree. This is nothing more than an inconvenience. There are now more clicks to accomplish the same thing, and the workflow is less smooth on top of it. For example, I used to be able to click a due date, then use tab and type the time that the assignment was due. Now, I can no longer do so fluidly, as I have to click yet another button once I've typed the time due the new dropdown menu.
My school will be getting a new teacher who’s never taught a course, so I just will share my assignments/quizzes with them. I know of the Send To feature, but if I do that for a quiz with item banks, will they have the control to edit the item banks on their end without editing my original item banks (meaning it gets…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
I have been asked to discover whether Canvas Catalog can accept eCheck payments. My thought is that since Catalog is configured to redirect to a payment form at our Payment Gateway, that this might be more a question of configuring an additional option into the Catalog and payment gateway settings. Has anyone done this?
One of the teachers has registered for Google Services in her Canvas account. However, she is unable to link the Google Assignment LTI as an external tool for assignment submissions. The error message is "account not linked" after clicking continue at this step: When I try to go into this teacher's course as an admin and…
