Time-Based Availability

The availability window for an item, assessment, or folder can be set as part of the creation process, or through the item, assessment, or folder's edit page (for tests, you'll want EDIT TEST OPTIONS). 

To take advantage of Date and Time restrictions, you will need to set the item's overall availability (Permit users to view this content or Make available to students) to yes.

Check the appropriate boxes for making content visible to students after and / or until specific dates and times.

You can type the Date (MM/DD/YYYY formatted) and time in the appropriate boxes, or click the buttons right of the boxes to select a date / time via a picker.

If you are setting an availability window on a timed assessment, we strongly encourage you to review our page on Due Dates, Durations, and Availability for more information on how these settings interact with one another.

On the Release Conditions panel, you'll find the time-based release controls under the "Set additional conditions" heading. Check the Date/Time box to open the availability window options.
