Let us schedule a Publish Date / Time for Content Pages

[aungaro]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

---

Please allow us the ability to set a specific date and/or time for content pages to be published ahead of time.

It would be nice to be able to schedule those times in advance. There are times I don't want to publish something for students to see until after class and that requires remembering to go back and publish. Forgetting to do so only then creates chaos.  It'd be nice to just set those times once the page is designed and avoid those circumstances.

This is an excellent idea and would be very helpful for courses where we have pages that are released on a weekly basis. Would love to know why, three years after it was suggested, it still hasn't been implemented?

Sad, isn't it. Particularly since Pages have since received the To-do list update... would it really have killed them to slide in this timed availability function at the same time? Apparently, yes it would have.

This is a feature that would significantly increase my teaching effectiveness. I regularly set up assignments that students don't need to see until they have had either instruction or particular experiences in the course. It is extremely easy to forget to publish something immediately after class. Not publishing when students need the item causes many problems in the course. Please put priority in adding this feature.

This is a pretty basic function that was easy to do in blackboard.  I'm very surprised its not available here.

Please create the ability to schedule a publish date and time. I have many

assignments that are important that students don't see until they have been

introduced in class. I have already established the assignments when the

semester begins. It is very difficult to remember to go in and publish an

assignment every time one needs to be available to the students. This

feature would greatly increase my efficiency as a professor.

Please, please, please make this a reality. It doesn't make sense for students to see an assignment that is not available to them yet. It would be SO helpful to schedule when an item is published and the students NOT even see the title until it is actually published/available.

I realize that we can 'lock' things such as Modules, but I don't want students SEEING them until a certain time, not just that they can't access it.  Two VERY different things.

It's 2020 and this still hasn't been updated as a feature!?  I see comments dating back 4 years.  Come on guys!  We need this, especially now with teaching online during Covid-19.  Please make this happen soon!

As we pull Google Classroom users into Canvas, this is a must-have feature. I'm embarrassed to tell them that it's not available in the best LMS in the world.
