Complete and delete assignments in Schoolwork
Depending on if you want to return assignment files, save assignment details, or permanently remove an assignment, progress and insight data, and exit ticket answers, you can mark the assignment completed or delete the assignment.
Once you mark an assignment completed or delete an assignment, you can’t undo it. After you mark an assignment completed, Schoolwork cancels any outstanding requests for work and returns copies of all assignment files to all students. When you delete an assignment, the assignment, the progress and insight data, and exit ticket answers are deleted and no longer available in Schoolwork. In addition, for all recipients, Schoolwork permanently removes access to any shared files in the assignment that were not previously returned.
Note: If you no longer want a class, but want to save the assignments in the class, you can remove the class. When you remove a class, Schoolwork saves view-only copies of all associated assignments in a class archive.
