Determining Which Items are Hidden or Have Conditional Releases

You may need to determine if you have accidentally hidden an item or set a conditional release. This is particularly true if you rollover content from one term to the next and you have used Set Release Criteria on any items in your course.

From the Build tab, under Course Menu, click on a tool link (for instance, Assignments).

Items that are hidden or have conditional releases are indicated in your inventory list as (Hidden) or (Conditional).

To update or change these items, click the Action Link next to the item.

1. Select Show Item, to un-hide the item. This makes the item available to the entire class.
2. Select Set Release Criteria to change the conditional release on the item.
3. IMPORTANT!! If the item is a quiz or assignment, select Edit Properties to update quiz release dates or assignment due/cutoff dates.

Note, in the example above, the first item is hidden. Students will not see this item until it is shown, regardless of when the due date for the assignment is set.
