Add "Lock until date" to content pages

This would add a level of control from the module to what is contained in them.

Having a lock on module availability is great but sometimes I would like to control when the contents of a module is seen. Availability dates for quizzes in modules is an obvious requirement. Why not have control for visibility of content pages?

Example: I have a "Study notes" module with a content page for every topic I lecture on. Each page contains study materials. I prefer not to let students see ALL materials at once so I have to remember to publish each content page when the time comes. Of course I forget once in a while. If I could set each of those pages to appear when needed, my worries would be over.

Thanks for your consideration.

I teach in a block schedule format so I have some sections of my course on Monday and others on Tuesday.  I love the fact that in assignments I can set the availability dates so that Monday students see the assignment on Monday and Tuesday students don't see the assignment until Tuesday.  It would be great if the available from/to feature was added to pages

I agree with everyone here. I have block scheduling on separate days and use pages within my modules to organize content. Since my classes are crosslisted, it links all the info. together.I don't want my B day students working ahead on material that has been presented to A day students. However, I do want my A day students to be able to access the material for homework and review purposes. 

Please add a feature so we can control when each course can view the page just like it is on assignments.

It would be nice to schedule a Page just like you are able to an Assignment.

Seriously? the suggestion for having a lock for pages is from 2015 and still hasn't happened?

Have you thought that we organize content by module in which a module may be covered in several weeks and we don't want to have X number of modules that relate to the same topic just because there is no way I can finish the content on a Sunday and not having the students asking things that should not be available until Monday?

I am absolutely baffled by this key feature that is missing from Canvas.  I have an assignment due tonight at midnight.  At 12:01, after the assignment is due, I want the students to have access to the answers so they can start studying.  The answers are in a pdf file.  It seems like it should be so simple to set the availability of that file to start after midnight.
