Don't see the framework you need? Let us know using the Help button, and we'll pass your request along for our team to review.

Archived courses are kept indefinitely. To view them, check the Show Archived Courses box underneath the course table in your Curriculum Hub.

From there, you can also permanently delete a course if you no longer need it.

Teachers can find their archived courses, along with any items they've moved to Trash, by clicking Archive & Trash.

Items moved to Trash are kept for 90 days before they're permanently deleted. Until then, click the ⋯ (three dots) next to an item to Restore it or select Permanently Delete Now.

Yes. In User Management, check the box next to each teacher, click Assign courses, select the course(s), choose Can view or Can edit from the dropdown, and click Assign.

Teachers with Edit access share one course, so any edits they make appear for everyone with access. If you'd like each teacher to have their own independent copy, duplicate the course for each teacher and assign each copy using Switch Owner. For details, see our help article Admin How To: Change a User's Access to a Course.
