You can also set the calendar status of all content topics and modules, discussion topics and forums, assignment submissions folders, grades categories and items, announcement items, quizzes, checklists, and surveys in their course in the Manage Dates tool.<\/p>\n<p>Course objects display in a grid that you can sort by any of the column headings. You can also use the Type column to sort the Manage Dates page based on the tool-specific order and use advanced filter options to work with smaller sets of objects. If you filter your course objects, any bulk changes you make apply only to the filtered results. This enables you to update multiple availability dates based on specific criteria.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to managing dates, you can open each course object in a new window by clicking on its name. This launches the object's edit page where you can edit additional properties for that object without leaving the Manage Dates tool.<\/p>\n<p>The Manage Dates tool can be very useful after a <a href=\"https:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/brightspace-tip-229-copy-course-or-copy-components\/\">course copy<\/a>. For example, if you copied content from one course into another course, you can use the Manage Dates tool to easily adjust dates after the course copy. Additionally, if you've entered dates on items in your course and later need to adjust dates in bulk, try using the Manage Dates tool.<\/p>\n<h3>Follow these steps to do it.<\/h3>\n<p>To edit dates in bulk:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Get into the course you want to change the dates of course objects.<\/li>\n<li>On the NavBar (of the course you want to change dates in), click <strong>Course Admin<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Manage Dates<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Select the check box of the items for which you want to bulk edit dates.<\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Bulk Edit Dates<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>In the Bulk Edit Dates dialog box, update the due dates and availability dates.<\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Want More Information?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/documentation.brightspace.com\/EN\/le\/manage_dates\/instructor\/manage_dates_about.htm\">About Manage Dates<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/documentation.brightspace.com\/EN\/le\/manage_dates\/instructor\/bulk_edit_dates.htm\">Bulk edit dates in Manage Dates<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/documentation.brightspace.com\/EN\/le\/manage_dates\/instructor\/offset_dates.htm\">Offset dates in Manage Dates<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/gzvc-uZzYBA\">Manage Dates - Offset Dates (video)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>View all the <a href=\"https:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/?s=Brightspace+%2Brecap\">Brightspace training recaps<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/community.brightspace.com\/s\/article\/All-Release-Notes\">Continuous Delivery release notes<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/catwiki.xula.edu\/index.php\/Brightspace_Known_Issues\">Brightspace Known Issues<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/brightspace-tip-2-sandbox-courses\/\">Request a sandbox course<\/a><br \/>\nSign-up for <a href=\"https:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/events\/\">Brightspace training sessions<\/a><br \/>\nYou can find <a href=\"https:\/\/documentation.brightspace.com\/EN\/-\/-\/-\/welcome_page.htm\">Brightspace help<\/a> at D2L's website.<br \/>\nJoin the <a href=\"https:\/\/community.brightspace.com\/\">Brightspace Community<\/a>.<br \/>\nTry these <a title=\"Brightspace How-to\" href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/brightspace-documents\/\">Brightspace How-To documents<\/a>.<br \/>\nVisit our <a title=\"Brightspace FAQs\" href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/food\/brightspace-faq\/\">Brightspace FAQs<\/a> for additional Brightspace information<br \/>\nor <a title=\"Schedule 1-on-1\" href=\"http:\/\/jflorent.youcanbook.me\/\">schedule a one-on-one session<\/a>, <a title=\"Send email\" href=\"http:\/\/cat.xula.edu\/mail\/?to=31\">email<\/a>, or <br \/>call Janice Florent: (504) 520-7418.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note: Are you doing something innovative in Brightspace or perhaps you've discovered a handy tip?
