[Using Sakai] Sakai usage & features

Thanks for the info, but I don't see the options described below. Specifically there is no "timed release" or "hide folder" on the details page.
I do see content.hidden for access on the permissions page, but if it is checked then the nested folder inherits this and cannot be un-hidden.

Am I missing these options because I have V2.7?

You can create hidden folders in Resources. From our FAQ: https://weblearn.ox.ac.uk/access/content/group/info/guidance/adminfaq.html

How do I include a file in the resources tool which cannot be browsed by users? In other words, how do I create a hidden folder?
A: Create a new folder (call this 'folder A') and use the hide folder radio button to hide it. This option is located in the Availability and Access section just below 'timed release' on the Edit Details page of a folder. Now create another folder inside the hidden folder ('folder B'); now ensure that this folder (B) is not hidden (on Edit Details page) and then access the folder permissions page, place a tick in the hidden column against all the roles that you want to be able to view the contents of the folder (B). Files can now be placed in folder B.
Folder A will now appear greyed out to maintainer & contribute role but can still be clicked on. Other roles will not see if unless explicitly given permission to do so. Folder B is technically visible to all but as non-maintainers cannot enter folder A, they will never see folder B (but they will be able to access its contents if given the appropriate URL).
