I believe there is now way to schedule a course's publish date. Am I correct?
@JonShanahan Canvas uses start & end dates for terms, courses, and sections, as well as restricted viewing settings, to determine whether students can open published courses. If you want to set up a course now for students to be able to open at a future date, the best way is probably setting a start date in the future, restricting students from viewing the course before the start date, then publishing the course. When the start date passes, they'll be able to open the course. (If multiple sections with different start dates are in the same course, you can use the same approach with section start dates.)
See How do I change the start and end dates for a course?
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS.

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
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…
