Auto Publish Courses

[jconway]

Hello has anyone found a way to auto publish courses within Canvas?  We recently moved to Canvas from a custom version of  Canvas and the older courses that were imported over are defaulted to unpublish.  Just want to see if there is a way to publish all courses at once instead of having to go in one by one to manually update.

Yes. You can use Bulk Publish to publish multiple courses at once. We use it at the beginning of every term.

So I know this is an older post, but I'm just doing some research on the topic.  I looked at the Bulk Publish Canvancement, but that appears to only publish/unpublish/delete pages.  Am I missing something?  Is there a way to bulk/auto publish courses other than pulling a SIS export report and changing "unpublished" to "publish"?  I appreciate any help or guidance anyone has to offer!

Thank you,

Amber

Is it possible to set an assignment to publish when the availability date hits?
I'd like to populate the semesters worth of assignments without them all showing up in the "To Do" list. 
It would be great if they only show up in "To Do" when they are accessible. 

Sorry if this has been answered. I am new to canvas. 
Thanks!

Thank you, I will look into this because I was told Canvas didn't have this feature

 @jconway , technically Canvas doesn't. The Bulk Publish is a Canvancement (Canvas Enhancement) developed by a Community member‌ because this feature didn't exist in Canvas.

To see the list of other Canvancements that exist check out this page - https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-8591-canvancements-canvas-enhancements?sr=search&searchId=3...‌

Oh ok, thank you for the clarification!
