After you have created the assignment, you will need to be sure to add a step, by clicking the Add Step button.

Beside the Basic Information, you will find Step Options. This is where you can edit the dates to make the assignment available at a specific time and include a deadline for the assignment.

This is where you can also edit who will be able to see this step and if you want to allow changes to be made after the step is completed.

Once you have made all of your changes, be sure to click Save in the bottom left-hand corner of the page.
