Adjust-All

Adjust-All is a simple Canvas tool that enables you to change all course item due dates and announcement publication dates in one place, rather than having to access each item individually.

Adjust-All Tips

  • The first time you use Adjust-All, you’ll need to click the blue Authorize button – it’s fine 😊
  • This tool is only available to faculty – students won’t see it in your course menu.
  • There are a few other things you can do with Adjust-All. Click the gear icon at top right to see options for bulk adjustments to dates or publishing status.
  • See the Adjust-All user guide for more tutorials and guides to using Adjust-All.

Adjust-All Limitations

  • Doesn’t work to update publish or to-do dates for Pages
  • Doesn’t work with New Quizzes
  • An assignment that is included in multiple modules may need to be updated multiple times within Adjust-All
