❓ What about Plus (+) Assessments? Why aren't they listed here? Plus assessments are never actually in draft form since they are added directly to the gradebook.

Locked assessments that have been sent to you by an administrator.

Assessment folders can only be shared by administrator accounts in Otus, and access is managed by the account that shared the folder.

Individual Locked Assessments

Each assessment has a paper airplane icon followed by a padlock icon. Hovering over the paper airplane icon will show you who sent the assessment. The padlock indicates that this is a locked assessment.

If you are in a shared assessment folder:

You will not see the Delete option because you cannot delete an assessment from a shared folder.
Do you see an option that says "Clone to My Folders"? That means the administrator that shared the folder has given permission to clone the assessment. If you clone the assessment, it will appear in your My Folders section.
