Summary
In the Assignments page, individual student due date overrides take priority over section and group due dates on assignments.
Change Benefit
This update allows individual student due date overrides to take priority over other due dates to reflect differentiation when multiple due dates apply to a student. The student view displays the most specific differentiated due date.
Feature Workflow
In Student view, the individual student due date takes precedence and displays on assignments.
Additional Details
Previously, if a student was given an individual assignment override that was within the date range for a section specific override, Canvas used the most lenient assigned dates to determine the assignment availability and due date for the student.
