[ARCHIVED] Is there a way to bulk edit announcement release dates?

[venitk]

I'd like to post-date all the announcements in a course to 2019 and then change the date to 2018 as needed (not sure when the announcements will actually run). Is there a way to bulk edit the announcements and move them all forward a year, or do I have to do them one at a time?

 @venitk , there isn't a built in solution, but you can use this free hack to bulk edit all of your announcement dates in one place - Bulk Announcement Date Editor (Google doc).

Hope this helps!

The bulk announcement date editor file in Google docs is denying access.  Is it possible that someone could share this file with me, or grant access to it?

That document is owned by a member, so you will need to request access directly from him (fill out the field in the Access Denied | You Need Access screen).

Can this not be marked as resolved or can the document instructions be pasted directly in this forum? It is no longer accessible.

There is not solution for this issue and it needs to get brought back to the table. 

This has been in the Idea Conversation since 2018. May I suggest going to the page and rating it (clicking on the gold stars next to the original post) to let Canvas know this is a feature you'd like to have?
