The Date Management tool allows you to view a full list of existing dates for content, Blackboard Assignments and Announcements in a module.

You can use it to edit dates quickly, check on assignment due dates or adjust content availability.

Important: It's especially useful just after you've performed a module copy as you can change the dates on copied assignments (except Turnitin).

If you want to change Turnitin assignment dates, view our guide.
