Re-using existing assignments
Do you wish to re-use an existing assignment configuration? It is possible to copy an existing configuration. This also allows you to move all deadlines by for example 1 year.
¶ Making changes
If you click on an already created item (intermediate deadlines, templates, etc..), it will open a preview of that item in the middle on the screen. On the top-right you see the buttons 'Delete' and 'Edit' to delete or edit the selected item.
When you click 'Edit', the middle of the screen will change from preview to edit mode. In this mode you can make changes to the item. The changes are not automatically saved. To save them, click 'Save' in the bottom right. If you want to revert back the the saved state, you can also click 'Cancel' in the top right. After saving or editing, you will be returned back to the preview screen.
¶ Keep track of your pending changes
When editing items in the assignment editor, orange cirlces will appear on items that have pending changes. The screenshot below shows a teacher that has edited, but not yet saved the 'Interview' template. This circle is to easily navigate you back to the items you are working on. It will also warn you when trying to close the assignment editor with pending changes.
