Why did the assignment and quiz due dates change locations? Extra clicks? "Manage Assign?" It doesn't make very much sense.
@ElizabethGarza1, @vinoluac, and @MadisonIngle ...
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 district has changed our required Learning Outcomes for all of our courses for this school year. How can I archive the 400+ Learning Outcomes we used last school year so they're still linked to our 25-26 courses but teachers can't use them in 26-27 courses going forward?
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
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…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
