Canvas Tips: Delay Posting an Announcement

There are so many things to do to prepare courses for launch. Canvas has a neat feature that can help you plan ahead for reminders that you like to send to students throughout the semester.

From your Canvas course, access the Announcements feature. Prepare your announcement, then choose the "Delay Posting" checkbox.  Use the calendar icon to select the date and time you would like the announcement to appear. 

By utilizing this feature, you can pre-schedule those reminders to go out at just the right time.
