Edit an assignment

A new assignment that's created in a parent class is automatically inherited (except for the Text to show at the head of each page and Text to show on the results page) by a child class. Changes made to that parent class's assignment are inherited by a child class as follows:

  • Changes to the assignment name, short name, and description are inherited

  • Changes to the text to show at the head of each page and on the results page aren't inherited

  • Changes to the assignment questions are inherited

  • Changes to the assignment properties aren't inherited

  • Changes to the assignment Policy Set (if a Policy Set was applied) are inherited

To edit an inherited assignment within your child class, inherited assignments first need to be cloned into your child class to change: assignment name, short name, description, or questions/content. See Clone content. After the assignment is cloned, you're then able to edit the assignment to suit your class's needs.

The following items of an inherited assignment can be edited without first needing to clone the assignment into your child class: text to show at the head of each page, text to show on the results page, assignment properties, and the Policy Set that's been applied.

Edits made from the child class will only apply to that child class and its descendants.
