Multiple due dates for the same student?

[RachelDorsey2]

I had an instructional designer ask me whether it was possible to create multiple due dates for the same assignment (for the SAME students). She mentioned she saw this in one of Canvas's release notes, but I have not been able to find anything on this feature. Any assistance would be appreciated!

It isn't possible to create multiple due dates for one individual for one assignment. The only feature that might be described this way is the upcoming Checkpoints in Discussions.

@RachelDorsey2  - perhaps simply set the first date as the due date and then set the second date as the available until date. To help the students it would be useful to have a standard duration between the due date and available until date, be it two days, a week, etc.
