How do you change an exercise environment's availability dates?¶

Abstract

Exercise environments will automatically have the same start and end dates as the course that they are added to. This KB article covers how to change the availability dates of an exercise environment if it should differ from the course dates or if the course end date has been extended. If you would like information on how to add exercise environments to your courses, please see Adding Exercise Environments.
