Gatekeeping Your Content
Important
Classic Content will be retired at the University of Arizona on August 17, 2026.
Starting then, New Content Experience will be the default in all sites. Between May 12 & August 16, 2026, users with an instructor role in a course site can toggle between Classic & New Content experiences. For step-by-step instructions working in New Content Experience, please see New Content Experience Help Pages (opens in a new tab).

Release Conditions require students to meet particular criteria before the material is visible. You can use these to restrict visibility to a specific section or student or require students to complete tasks before accessing the next item.

Step 2
Select the module or submodule in the Table of Contents panel you want to restrict.
Step 3
Select the words Add dates and restrictions... under the name of the module or submodule in the right pane.
Step 4
Under Release Conditions, select the Create button.
Step 5
