Can I batch change the dates that my assignments will close?

[ajfisher2]

I have decided to accept work later than usual considering COVID19.  I don't want to have to adjust the assignment closing date and time one-at-a-time.  Is there a more efficient way?

Welcome to the Canvas Community!!!

This document might help you out:

It is not done directly in Canvas, but James' steps are very easy to follow.

Hi,  @ajfisher2  Welcome to the Canvas Community! Robbie has given you a great immediate solution. If you can wait a few days, a date changer that allows the instructor to bulk-edit all assignment due dates will be available in Canvas as of this weekend. The Ready Release Notes (2020-04-18)‌ has the details.

Hi Stefanie,

I watched the videos on the new features that were launched and there wasn’t one on this particular feature. I can’t find instructions for it. Has the launch date changed, or am I just missing it? I appreciate your help.
