I provide local Canvas support at University of Wisconsin-Madison. I would like an overview of all options pertaining to the life cycle of a Canvas course.

I understand about creating courses. (We have an automated system for our time-table courses, and we can create courses manually.)

I understand about course "Start" and "End" dates. (We deal with those all the time.)

But, I hear phrases like, courses being "closed"... or "archived"... or "sunsetted"...

Maybe these are simply synonyms for "past the End Date".

But, that is only a guess. Are there more management, or administrative statuses that a course might go through in it's life?

I haven't seen any... but, it's hard to prove a negative.

Thx in advance.
