Archive, unarchive, or delete an assignment

Archive keeps a completed assignment in your project history as read-only. Unarchive returns it to Completed. Delete is a separate permanent action that removes the assignment and its student work.

Completed keeps its management doors together. Reopen returns the project to live work; Archive makes the assignment read-only; Delete is the irreversible path. Select the image to enlarge it.

Open Actions on the Completed assignment. Use Archive when you want to keep the history but stop changing it. Use Delete Assignment only when the entire assignment and its work should be permanently removed.

Select Archive and review the confirmation.

Unarchive returns the assignment to Completed, where its summary and closeout tools can be edited again. It does not return the assignment to Active or reopen student work. Use Reopen separately if the class must resume the project.

Select Actions → Delete Assignment.

Delete is not archive. It permanently removes the assignment and all of its work records, so use Archive whenever the goal is to preserve history without cluttering active views. Select the image to enlarge it.

The confirmation names the assignment and warns that its submissions, grades, and comments will be permanently removed and cannot be restored. Select Delete only when that is the intended result.

If the goal is merely to remove old work from current views, cancel and use Archive instead. If deletion fails, remain on the page, refresh its current state, and retry only after confirming the assignment still exists.
