The News tool enables you to create news items that help communicate course updates, changes, and new information to your users quickly and effectively.

Do one of the following:
On the News page or Global News page, click Restore from the context menu of the news item you want to restore.
Note You can click Go to News tool from the News widget menu to view all news items on the News page.
You can subscribe to a News RSS feed and receive daily updates of all news items in an RSS reader. This allows you to access an aggregate of news items without logging into the Learning Environment.
Global news items appear in the same My Home and Course Home pages' News widget as course-related news items.
Note The Global News Item icon appears beside global news items in your News widget.
If you set a news item's start date for the future, the posting is not visible to users until that date.
Example If you want a news item to appear on Monday morning, specify a start date of Monday at 9:00am.
Note Post-dated news items do not display in the News widget even if users have permission to see future news items. They can be found within the list of news items on the News page.
Note You can also make the edited news posting reappear at the top of the News widget by changing its Start Date to the current date and time.
