Making content visible

In Blackboard Ultra you can manage content visibility in a variety of ways. You can make content immediately visible to students, keep it hidden from view or set release conditions on the content items within your course, to make them visible, depending on specific conditions.

1. The most common way to make an item of content visible is to expand the arrow below the item title and select Visible to students.
