Once an activity is assigned to a class, you and your students will see it in the list of assignments for that class. When you no longer want the assignment in the list, you can either archive it or delete it.

Archiving an assignment will make it so the assignment is only visible if you Show Archived Assignments under the three dots in the class title bar. Student responses and scores are still available if you unarchive the assignment. Deleted assignments are purged - they cannot be retrieved.

Archive an Assignment

  • From the My Classes page, click on the course with the assignment you want to archive OR the assignment count.

  • To the right of the assignment, click the assignment action dots, then select Archive Assignment.

  • If the assignment is Open, you will receive a warning message before you archive it. Click Yes to continue to archive the activity.

  • To view archived assignments, click the Class Action Dots to the right of View Class & Roster, then select Show Archived Assignments.

  • Archived assignments appear at the bottom of the assignment list. They have the status "Archived," and they cannot have a Start or Due date. You can click on the assignment's name to see any work associated with the activity.

Delete an Assignment

  • From the My Classes page, click on the course with the assignment you want to archive OR the assignment count.

  • To the right of the assignment, click the assignment action dots, then select Delete Assignment.

  • You will receive a warning message: this action is permanent and cannot be undone. To finalize the deletion, click Yes.

  • When this is done, you will get a green completion bar letting you know that the assignment was deleted.
