Reopen Assessments

Teachers can reopen assessments that have been closed or whose due date has passed. Reopening an assessment allows students to update their responses and re-submit the assessment. Students' original answers will be retained, and reports in Analyze will update to reflect the most recent submission.

Assessments must be closed before teachers will see the option to reopen an assessment.


1. From Assign, open the kebab menu and select Reopen on any attempt to reopen the assessment for the entire class.
