How do I set the display of a Resources item to a specific time period?

Under Availability and Access, check the boxes next to From and Until, set the dates and times using the calendar icon, and then click Update.

Notes:

  • The "Show this item" radio button must also be selected.
  • The "From" and "Until" functionality is optional. You can select to show an item "From" a date/time or show an item "Until" a date/time or both.

This displays the file or folder in Resources as hidden, except during the specified time period.

Notes:

  • Instructors see hidden Resource items as grayed out.
  • If you set a specific date/time for the availability of a folder, all of the files within the folder automatically have the same availability date/time restrictions.
