Ahh...gotcha. Thank you @KristinL and @gnoack! I had an ah-ha moment this morning and thought maybe it was the OR option that made that happen. Thank you for confirming that! ... View more

Thanks @Steven_S , I'll give it a shot.  ... View more

Interesting. The settings displayed in your screenshot should work exactly as you had hoped. P3 section may see the name of the assignment in the module "today", but should not be able to access the content or details. And yes, I totally get wanting to be able to set it up ahead of time. That's one of the cool things about the Canvas Assignment availability features!  Perhaps you should reach out to Canvas Support so that they can look within your instance to help you figure out what is happening. Sorry I couldn't be more help.  ... View more

The availability dates work along with the assign to box to allow instructors to assign to specific sections, individual students, groups, etc. and restrict others if not listed.  If Period 2 has not been removed from an Assign To box or if "everybody else" (which would represent Period 2) has not been removed from an Assign To box, then yes, students in sections other than Period 1 will see all content within the assignment.  Can you provide a screenshot of the lower section of the assignment and the assign to area? That may help the Community provide some answers for you.  ... View more

Hi @bhaus!  Glad you reached out! Have you tried the "Assign to" option within the assignment details? If teachers assign to only Period 1 and remove "everybody else", only the Period 1 students will be able to view the assignment. Period 2 students will not be able to see the assignment at all.  If the availability dates are included, Period 1 students (Trial-02 in my image example) would not have access to assignment details and content until the available date and time. Period 1 students may see a "link" or name of the assignment on the modules page or in the course summary, but they  will be restricted from viewing the actual details and such.  The assign to settings are also available within other activity pages such as quizzes and discussion boards.

Thank you @Chris_Hofer. That was my work-around suggestion for my faculty member, but thought maybe I was missing something! 😉    ... View more

Thanks  @kmeeusen !  Good to know! I will do that.  ... View more

 @kona & Community! Yes, me again. I had one of our Sub Account Admins attempt to post an announcement within an active course and the +Announcement was not available.  While I'm here, I also had her attempt to post a Global Announcement for her sub account. She was able to go through the "motions",  but it did not publish.  What am I missing?  ... View more

Thanks  @kona ‌, that's what I imagined. What threw me off was when I masqueraded as one of our Sub Account Admins to see what options he had, the +Announcement was not available to him (or me in that role). Evidently it was a "masquerade" thing?  ... View more
