Body
You can use Batch Edit to update common settings across all content, such as visibility and due dates. You can also use the tool to delete a group of selected course content. With Batch Edit, you can control content settings in one place and all at once.
On the Course Content page, open the three dot menu on the right side above the content list. Select Batch Edit.
On the Batch Edit page, all content appears just as it does on the Course Content page. You can sort the list by item title, due date, show on, hide after, or visibility. You can select a maximum of 100 items at once.
Edit dates
You can use Batch Edit to adjust due dates on items. Only items with dates will be adjusted. Select Edit dates at the bottom of the page.
Select Edit Dates to confirm that you want to edit the dates for the items, or Cancel to return to the page.
Change dates by number of days
Enter a number in the Shift dates forward or Shift dates backward fields. All dates for the items selected will be adjusted forward or backward based on the field and number you choose.
For example: A snowstorm at the start of the semester pushes the academic calendar by a few days. You can use Batch Edit to add 4 days to all due dates.
Edit visibility
You can use Batch Edit to make items hidden or visible to students. Select Edit visibility. Choose to make items hidden or visible to students. Previous visibility settings for the items are overwritten. Date and time release conditions are removed for all selected items.
Select Save Visibility to confirm that you want to change the visibility settings for the selected items, or Cancel to return to the page.
Delete items
You can use Batch Edit to delete items from the Course Content page. Select Delete items. Select Delete to confirm that you want to delete the items, or Cancel to return to the page.
Deleted items can't be restored unless you have an archive file or export of the course with the items you deleted.
