I hope someone is able to help.

When adding new items/files to a module which is UNpublished, the new item automatically defaults to PUBLISHED. This is very frustrating when I am adding new content for future lessons. These new items/files for future lessons pop up as new notifications for my students causing them to think they have a new assignment. I then have to go back and "unpublish" this item under the already unpublished module. There is no option to choose that I can see, as you are adding your file, to select if you want it published or not. I have a lot of NEW material I need to add for this semester and I am being bogged down by having to go back and unpublish every single item I am uploading. Any suggestions?

Thank you.
