How to Access a Sent Assessment
Teachers will receive a notification on their home feed when an assessment is sent to them. Click on the notification OR navigate to your Draft Assessments page.
If the assessment was sent unlocked: The assessment is listed in the recipient's My Folders > All folder with a paper airplane icon.
If the assessment was sent locked: The assessment is listed in the recipient's Shared With Me > All folder with a paper airplane and padlock icon. Keep in mind that sending locked assessments can only be done from an admin account.
To see who sent the assessment, hover over the paper airplane icon.
FAQs
Keep in mind, that this section is regarding administrators sending other teachers or administrators an individual assessment. Check out the links below for more information on teachers sending assessments or administrators sharing assessment folders.
Can I edit an assessment that has been sent to me? If the assessment was sent to you unlocked, yes.
If I make edits to an assessment I have sent to another user, will their copy show those edits as well? Unlocked assessments do NOT show those edits. Locked assessments DO show those edits.
Do I have to re-send the assessment if I make edits to it? Unlocked assessments have to be resent. Locked assessments do not have to be re-sent.
Can I share an assessment folder? Yes, administrators can share assessment folders.
Can I see who I've already sent an assessment to? As an administrator, you are able to see who you've shared assessment folders with, but you are unable to see that information for individual assessments.
If I sent an assessment locked, then later decide that it should be unlocked, can I change it? You can re-send the assessment with the correct permissions, as that toggle can't be changed once the assessment has been sent.
