After editing an announcement, instructors are asked "Would you like to send an announcement to users that the announcement has been edited?"
While the Canvas guide on editing Announcement dates does specify that "The modal does not display when editing an announcement with a delayed posting date," it is creating confusing for instructors who are left, in the moment, wondering what that is going to mean. They don't want to send a notification immediately, but they don't want to hinder any notification from going out later, but students don't need an extra notification later if an announcement they hadn't even seen before was edited...and then we field queries seeking clarification.
It would be much cleaner if Canvas could recognize when there's a delayed/future posting date on an item and then not display that prompt at all when it isn't going to be applicable.
