  1. Canvas Help Guide
  2. Draft State in Canvas

Draft State in Canvas

 

Draft State has been enabled globally across Canvas. Now you have more control over your assignments, pages, discussions, quizzes, and modules. With Draft State, you’re able to publish certain elements of course when you’re ready. For example, if you want to create a module but prevent students from accessing it, you can keep it unpublished (in a draft state) until it’s ready for students.

Assignments, for example, looked like this:

Canvas in pre-draft state

 

Now with drafts, the same assignments look like this:

Canvas with drafts

To get started with Draft State, Instructure has created some help guides below. And, as always, please contact Biggio Center Instructional Technology for one-on-one help.
