[Inbox] Email (message) multiple classes at one time

Instructors often want, or are asked, to share news and information of importance to all our classes.  Currently, that means copying and pasting that information into anywhere from 2-5 different classes.  Given that there is a drop down box for choosing a class to message currently, adding the ability to select multiple classes seems like it would be an easy "fix".  Please add this capability ASAP.

This would definitely still be very helpful.

Hello there. Inbox only allows me to email one class at a time. Sometimes, I need to email all classes the same message. I would like for Canvas to allow me to email multiple classes at one time.

Upvote for this feature!  I need to send a promotional tool to a select group of Courses and would like to choose more than one.

I'm not sure why this feature is taking so long.  It would seem to be pretty easy to add.

Please look at incorporating this feature where we can send an inbox message to multiple courses.  This would make communications much smoother for us as instructors and administrators.

Please, please, please. This looks to have been requested for 6+ years. It's not just about workload. I often want to share opportunities for all my students in a timely way- like free food right now at Building X. It builds community for them to have access to this information. Please support!
