Aliases:

Toggle Assignment Visibility:
- To prevent students from accessing assignments prematurely, navigate to the assignment, click on the gear icon, and select Edit.
- In the edit mode, locate the publishing status (represented by a green icon for published items). Clicking this icon toggles the assignment between published and unpublished status. Unpublished items are not visible to students.

Control Folder Access with Open and Close Dates:
- For controlling when a folder becomes accessible, edit the folder's settings by clicking on the gear icon and selecting Edit.
- Choose to publish the folder on a specific date or within a date range. This allows the folder to automatically open for access on the start date and, if desired, close on an end date.

Use Completion Rules to Sequentially Release Content:
- In the Materials section, access the folder's options and select Student Completion to set up rules.
- Define conditions that must be met before students can progress, such as viewing a document or achieving a certain score on a quiz. These rules help ensure students engage with the content in a structured manner.

Creating Groups:
- In the Members section of your course, create student groups by clicking on the Add group option. Name your group and add members accordingly.
Individually Assigning Assignments:
- For assignments, go to the gear icon, select Edit, and then Enable Grading. Under Individually Assign, choose specific students or groups. This assigns the work only to selected members, allowing for differentiated instruction.
Individually Assigning Folders:
- Similar to assignments, you can assign entire folders to individuals or groups without going into edit mode. Simply use the Individally Assign option directly from the folder's gear menu.

Locking Assignments:
- To prevent all interactions with an assignment, including submissions, use the Lock option found in the assignment's settings. This is useful for controlling when students can submit work or access assignment content.
Disabling Submissions:
- If you wish to allow students to view an assignment but not submit work, use the Submissions Enabled toggle to turn off the submission feature. This can be particularly helpful after grading periods have ended.
