Edit & Re-use an Assignment

1. Editing an existing assignment in your Library

The Assignment Library allows you to edit assignments at any time. Simply open the assignment and click Edit to make changes.

Edit an existing assignment

Note: Changes made in the Assignment Library do not affect assignments that have already been published to your classes. Edits apply only to the original version stored in your library.


2. Editing Published or Scheduled Assignments

To make changes to an assignment that is already live or scheduled for the future, navigate to the specific class and select the assignment.
You will see two main options:

  • Publication Settings: Click this to change assigned students, update your scheduled or due dates, or adjust grading option.
  • Edit Assignment: Click this to modify the content of the assignment itself, such as the instructions, the work score, or extra settings.

Edit an existing assignment within class

☝️ Important Notes:

  • Publication Date: This cannot be changed once the assignment has already been published to the students.
  • Worksheet Assignments: Once a worksheet is assigned to a class, the specific questions cannot be edited. You can only modify the overall assignment settings.

3. Reusing Assignments Across Classes

The Assignment Library is designed for efficiency, allowing you to deploy your "Master Templates" to any class in seconds. To reuse an assignment:

  1. Select an assignment from your Library and click "+ Use in Class".
  2. Choose the Class(es): Select the specific class or multiple classes you want to use the assignment.
  3. Target Students: Assign it to the entire class or select specific students for differentiated instruction.
  4. Due Date (Optional): Set a deadline for the task.
  5. Grading (Optional): Enter the maximum points.
    Tip: Leave this blank if the assignment is for practice and does not require a grade.
  6. Deploy: Click Publish to send it immediately, or click the Calendar Icon to schedule the post for a future date.

💡 Time-Saving Tip: When assigning to multiple classes at once, use the top checkbox to automatically apply the same due date and max points across all selected groups.
