[ARCHIVED] Syllabus Tool - Assignments

[bwaters]

I recently noticed that the ability to remove the assignment list/course summary from a Canvas syllabus is now included in the beta environment, and I have two questions:

1) When will institutions be able to turn on this feature in production?

2) Has the ability to make the syllabus public been removed? If not, where can I find that option?

Thanks!

Hi  @bwaters ...

When you see new features in your school's "beta" environment, that quite possibly means that there's something new or updated in the Canvas Release Notes.  I'm not sure if you regularly follow the Canvas Release Notes space here in the Community, but you might want to do that if you're not currently doing so.  The checkbox for displaying or not displaying the Course Summary in the Syllabus is covered in the Canvas Release Notes (2020-03-21) document, and the date on the document (March 21, 2020) indicates the date that Instructure will push these out to "production" environments...assuming that there isn't something between the time of the posting and the date of the release that would prevent a feature from going "live".

To answer you other question...making the Syllabus "public" has not changed.  That setting is located in your course "Settings" page.  Here is a Guide for you: How do I customize visibility options for course content?

I hope this information will be of help to you, Bill.  Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
