Can I Edit or Delete an Assignment after it has been Assigned?

If, after sharing an assignment, you notice an issue with the due date or total points, you can easily make an edit. You can do this by going to your Planner tab (calendar icon), locating the assignment on your timeline, clicking the 3-dot button, and clicking Edit Info.

Dashboard showing a list of assignments with dates, status, and options to edit or delete. An assignment is highlighted with edit and delete options visible.

Once you click the button, you will get the option to edit the assignment. Please note, you can only edit the following values:

  • Assignment Type
  • Who it's assigned to: You can only remove students from assignments if you have not graded them for that assignment yet.
  • Due date
  • Total Points (if the assignment has not been graded yet), including making the assignment formal or summative.
  • Locked or Unlocked

At this time, we don't have the functionality to edit the contents of an assignment after it's been shared. If you need to modify a question or remove a question from the assignment, you'll have to edit and re-assign the activity to students.


To delete an assignment entirely for all students after it has been assigned to your class, you will first locate the assignment in your timeline. Click on the 3-dot button next to the assignment you would like to delete and click Delete. A pop-up will ask you to confirm this decision before it is deleted.
