Step 1: Choose Dates

Select a saved preset or enter dates manually. Lock Dates apply to items with due dates in the first range. Course End Lock applies to items in the second range (starting the day after the first ends).

Step 2: Understand the Two Ranges

Lock Dates Range: Items due between your "From" and "To" dates will have a lock date set.

Course End Lock Range: Items due between the auto-filled "From" date and your "To" date will be locked on the specified date (usually the course end date).

Step 3: Save as Preset (Optional)

Click "Preview" to see all items matching your date ranges. This shows the items that will be locked and lets you filter before applying.

Step 5: Filter & Select Items

In the preview, you can filter by title, toggle item types (Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions), and sort by clicking column headers. Check the "Apply?" checkbox for each item you want to lock. Use "Select All" or "Deselect All" for quick selection.

Step 6: Apply Changes

Click "Apply Changes" to set the lock dates in Canvas. You can always come back and adjust more items later.
