When creating a Turnitin assignment an automatic Adaptive Release rule is added. This rule hides the assignment from students until the Start Date specified in the assignment settings has passed. If you need to change the Start Date you will need to remove the Adaptive Release rule by following the steps below.
Please note, the Due Date and Feedback Release Date can be changed without removing the Adaptive Release rule.

a. Click on the action link next to the assignment title.
b. Click Adaptive Release: Advanced.
c. Tick the box next to LTI and click Delete.
d. A pop-up box asking for confirmation will appear, click OK.
e. This will refresh the Adaptive Release screen. Click OK (small grey text at the bottom right of the screen).
f. You can now edit the Start Date, see below.

There are some system restrictions for editing assignments if using Anonymous assignments.
- You can't change an assignment to use anonymous marking if students have already started submitting papers.
- For anonymous assignments, you can't change the Start Date, Due Date and Feedback Release Date if the Feedback Release Date has passed. This is because the students' names have been revealed and Turnitin will display an error message if you try to change any of the dates at this point.
