Canvas is updating how content is published in modules \u2013 and simplifying the process for publishing\/unpublishing multiple items in their June 17 release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, instructors would need to set the published\/unpublished status on each module and each item within a module. So, if they wanted to unpublish an entire module to work on it, they would need to unpublish each item individually, then republish each item when they finished. Now with this update, the status of an entire module and its items can be changed at once!    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use this new feature, click the drop-down publish\/unpublish button for a module. You\u2019ll see three items in this new menu \u2013 publish module and all items, publish module only, and unpublish module and all items.  <\/p>\n\n\n

Canvas has also adjusted how the green published checkmark displays if a published assignment is unable to be unpublished. If a student has submitted work, the published icon will be a more muted green to indicate the assignment cannot be unpublished. <\/p>\n\n\n
