How do I use the Announcements Index Page?

In Course Navigation, click the Announcements link.

The Announcements Index page is designed with global settings at the top of the page [1], followed by the individual announcements [2].

Global settings include searching for an announcement [1] and filtering unread announcements [2]. You can also view the announcements RSS feed [3], add a new announcement [4], and add an external feed [5]. 

Announcements are listed in reverse chronological order with the newest appearing first and the older Announcements appearing towards the bottom.

Each announcement includes the name of the announcement [1], the name of the person who posted the announcement [2], whether a discussion has an enabled podcast feed [3], the last announcement post/reply date [4], and the number of unread/total replies in the announcement [5].

If an announcement doesn't include a name and/or user image, the announcement has been copied from a previous course import.

To apply a bulk action, such as locking or deleting, click the checkbox next to the announcement [1]. To close all selected announcements to comments, click the Lock button [2]. To delete all selected announcements, click the Delete button [3].
