Canvas Update to the Update: “Assign To” Feature Is Getting Simplified

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Previously, we talked about how Canvas has added new ways to update the dates for assignments, quizzes, and discussions. This week, we’re going to be talking about that same topic – but about another change that’s coming Wednesday, August 28.

After releasing this feature, Canvas realized that there was one factor they missed accounting for across their design process – the ability to quickly view the due dates on the settings pages for assignments, quizzes, and discussions. So they’re fixing that and reverting the settings pages to their previous design.

The updated settings page for an assignment, showing how the "assign access" fields are directly on the page again. — *The updated “Assign Access” section on the settings page for an assignment.*

This doesn’t negate any of the other updates they brought with the original “Assign To” update! You can still access the dates quickly and easily from modules, the Assignments/Discussions/Quizzes pages, and the landing pages for Assignments / Discussions. Have questions?
