How Do I Change an Exercise Environment's Availability Dates?¶

Abstract

This article covers how to change an exercise environment's availability dates. Exercise environments are automatically assigned the same availability dates of the course they're added to. However, if a course is extended or your needs evolve, you can easily adjust the start and end dates of your exercise environments. If you would like information on how to create exercise environments for your courses, please visit our Creating Exercise Environments article.

The course page is displayed with the course's exercise environments listed below the course details.

3. Click the Edit Environment button¶

The environment page is displayed. The Edit this exercise button is in the top right above the Delete environment button.
