About Canvas Draft State

Last updated: December 1, 2021

Draft State allows content in Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions, Pages, and Modules to exist in an unpublished (draft) state. Unpublished content is invisible to students and excluded from grade calculations. With the addition of Draft State, Assignments, Quizzes, Discussions, Pages, and Modules have also been redesigned for better consistency in layout and functionality.
