How do I edit an announcement in a course?

If you forgot to add something to your announcement, you can easily edit and add more information.

Notes:

  • You can either save the edited announcement without notifying users or send a notification to users.
  • Your course must be published for students to receive announcement notifications. Students do not receive new announcement notifications for announcements imported from another Canvas course.
