aware that the tool does NOT work with Turnitin assignments.\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>The Date Management tool allows you to shift all such dates either forward or back by a number of days (e.g. by 365 days).This tool can be used to adjust dates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>when setting up your course for the next academic year<\/li>\n<li>or if you need to extend deadlines or the availability of time released content in a current course.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It also allows you to review and change the dates for individual items in one place, so that you are not obliged to shift all dates by the same number of days.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Enabling the Date Management tool<\/h2>\n<p>Go to <strong>Control Panel &gt; Customisation &gt; Tool Availability<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"5664\"

Review existing dates and adjust the date for specific items If you want to see what items have dates before applying a new date, or if you only need to adjust the dates for a subset of items on a course, from the Date Management page, select\u00a0List All Dates For Review. Using this process means that you can see the dates and items affected before making changes. Click Start and the Date Management process will run. Once completed, click Next. A list of the current dates for items on the course are shown on the Date Management Review page, You can then adjust the dates for items as required using the options described in this guide. &nbsp; Content items with the same name The Date Management tool does not show you the location of items, so if you have two items of the same type, on the same course, with the same name, there\u2019s no way of telling which is which. The only workaround for this is to rename one or both of the content items before running Date Management. &nbsp;","og_url":"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/tel-support\/2018\/07\/31\/blackboard-using-the-blackboard-date-management-tool\/","og_site_name":"Blackboard Help for Staff -
