Started, not completed: Unassigning removes the active assignment from the learner’s dashboard. The learner’s progress up to that point remains recorded in the learner record and reports, but the assignment is no longer active.
Completed / certificate allocated: The LMS generally prevents unassignment once a course is completed or a certificate has been allocated - this preserves historical records.
To preserve continuity: If you want learners to continue with the same course after you change settings, consider reassigning the course, reassignment creates a new assignment instance.
What happens if I unassign a course when my learner(s) have already started it?
