Manage activities in Schoolwork
Use the assignment details view to discover students who might need extra challenges or attention. The information in the assignment details view can help you identify students who might be falling behind, who might need to try an activity again or who might need a little extra time after you lock an assignment.
You can also use the assignment details view to return work to your students.

In the Schoolwork app
, tap Recent Activity, Favourites or a class in the sidebar, then tap the assignment you want to view.
Use the Student Data chart to help you to determine which students might need extra challenges or attention.

Tap
, tap Ask to Try Again, enter instructions telling the student you want them to work on the activity again, then tap Send.
Note: If students mark the activity as done again without retrying, Schoolwork displays the previous progress data.
If Allow Notifications is selected for Schoolwork (go to Settings > Notifications > Schoolwork, then tap Allow Notifications), Schoolwork sends you a notification when students submit revisions. Tap anywhere in the notification to open the assignment details view, then view the revision.
Allow students extra time to complete an activity in a locked assignment

Return assignment files to students

Do one of the following:
To return work to all students: tap an activity tab, tap Return to Students, then tap Continue.
To return work to an individual student: tap an activity tab, tap
for the student whose work you want to return, tap Return to Student, then tap Continue.
To return work to all students and mark the assignment as complete: tap Mark as Completed, then tap Continue.
Schoolwork cancels any outstanding requests for work and returns copies of assignment files to all students; or, if you selected individual students in step 2, to the selected students. If you tapped Mark as Completed, Schoolwork also marks the assignment as complete and moves the assignment to the Completed view. Providing students with copies of all their assignment files can help them build a portfolio of their Schoolwork projects.
