## 1. :calendar: Scheduling

* Select the **Enable Schedule by Dates** to set a start date, due date, and/or end date for the assignment.  By default, the assignment has this option enabled, with the current date and time as the **Start Date**. You must either set an **End Date** or disable scheduling to save the assignment.
