Hello @Noah.D.156,
Thank you for contacting the Brightspace Community with your question.
For this question and thinking about your context, you could use the Start/End Date included in the assignments, allowing users to view the upcoming ones. You have a couple of options to make the assignments available or hidden: Hidden, Visible with access restricted, and Visible with submission restricted.
Here, I am sharing an article that might help you learn more about these options available in Assignments.
https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/5474-new-assignments-date-feature-updated-date-availability-visibility-and-access-options?utm_source=community-search&utm_medium=organic-search&utm_term=start+date+in+quizzes
Regarding the content part, if you include a topic in the content tool to address the users directly to the assignments, the system will show the information only when the start date arrives. I think you can include an extra title or New Lesson to provide some information about the upcoming assignment and include the assignment there. The assignment won't be visible or available at the beginning; however, you can include some information about the assignment (e.g. Start, End, and Due Dates, short description, etc.) in this New Lesson, allowing users to plan some time to finish the assignment.
I hope this information is helpful.

Could you put up a content file with those details with a release condition of "no completed quiz attempt" as a placeholder, so when they complete the quiz that gets replaced with the assignment?
@Pilar.M.32 I am getting an "article not found error" message when attempting to access the link in your post.
Hi @John.S.971 it looks like that article was moved here - apologies for the delay in response there.
Hello,
I’m setting up an online course and I want to use release conditions to control access to content. I noticed that when I add release conditions at the course level, the whole course becomes hidden until the conditions are met.
What I’m hoping for is slightly different:
Has anyone successfully configured release conditions this way, so students can see upcoming units but not access them yet? Any guidance would be appreciated!
Thank you,
Parm Ghag
Hi @Parm.G.567 I think what you might try is adding an introductory page to the modules that will not be available until a specific release condition has been met. Then you would add your release conditions on the content topic pages that appear following that introductory content topic. To make this easier you could add a sub-module and add the release condition just once instead of on each page of the module of content.
