Reordering of Announcements

[judy_hainsworth]

Is there any way to rearrange the order of announcements on the home page? Seems like that might be important, and I can't figure out how. Maybe in html? Anyone got a solution?

Hello there,  @judy_hainsworth ...

I don't believe this is currently possible in Canvas.  However, I did a quick search here in the Community, and I found a Feature Idea that's currently open for voting: https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/15691-allow-reordering-of-announcements" modifiedtitle="true" ....  If you feel that this Feature Idea aligns with something that you would like Instructure engineers to implement in Canvas, please add your vote and maybe a comment to the bottom of it letting them know why a feature like this would be important to you.

I know this might not be the answer you were hoping for, but I hope that it helps to answer your question, Judy.

Also the ability to save them in an archive

Hi  @judy_hainsworth ...

There isn't a way to archive announcements currently (although you could certainly copy them to a "sandbox" course that you have so that you can copy them out to any course as needed).  I did search the Community to see if I could find any existing Feature Ideas, and I found this one that is in Cold Storage called https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/14449" modifiedtitle="true" title="Archive Announcements.  You may need to request access to Cold Storage, but I think it will have some information for you that might be of help.
