Edit assignments

There are any number of reasons and needs for editing an assignment. You can change any of the assignment elements, such as adding or removing drafts, changing due dates and times, or activating/deactivating an assignment. There are, however, some restrictions as to what you can edit once your students have started an assignment.

Note: For a peer-review assignment, use the procedure in Edit a peer-review assignment rather than this one.

To edit an assignment:

1. Do one of the following:
   • If the assignment's title is displayed under Manage Assignments on the Home page, click the title and continue with step 4 in this procedure.
   • Click View Current Assignments under Manage Assignments on the Home page.
2. Expand the Current Assignments or Past Assignments list, depending on the state of the assignment you want to edit.
3. Click the Title of the assignment you want to edit.

   The assignment's details are displayed.

4. Click the Edit button in the details window.

   You use the same pages and options for editing an assignment as you do for creating one. For more information, see the respective procedure for creating an assignment:

   Create a composition assignment

   Create a collaboration assignment

   Create a portfolio assignment

   Create a diagnostic assignment

   Create a skill-building assignment
