  2. Click the three dots next to the activity you want to edit.
  3. Select "Edit settings" in the context menu to make the changes.

    The screenshot shows the options available to edit the resource "File". On offer are "Edit settings", "Move", "Hide", "Duplicate", "Assign Role", and "Delete".
 

3. Control visibility of activities and resources for students

You can make all elements of the course page visible or hidden for students individually. This also applies to entire course sections:

  1. Click the three dots next to the element.
  2. Select "Hide" in the context menu. The item will then be marked as hidden in the managers' view and will disappear from the students' view. Select "Show" in the context menu to make it visible again.

    The screenshot shows a hidden activity in the managers' view. It is called "Seminarplan" and is of the type "File". Along with the icon, the type, the name, the file size and the upload date an orange info shows "Hidden from students".

In the "Settings" of each element, you can define conditions for visibility via "Requirements". For example, elements can only be called up for an activity from a certain date, only for a certain group, or only after a certain rating has been reached. Read more on this in the manual Restrict access.
