Making Your Content Invisible

The process to make your content invisible to students until you are ready for them to see it is as easy as 1, 2, 3. 

1. Select the drop-down arrow next to the piece of content you want to hide from students.
2. Select Hide from Users in the menu that appears.
3. When you’re ready to make the content visible again, repeat step one and select the option Make Visible to Users.

When your content in invisible to your students, you will see an eye icon that has been crossed out. This eye icon can also be seen at the top right of every module, and selecting it will allow you to toggle the visibility of entire modules at once.
