Yes, you can change the deadline for Active assignments. 

However, as soon as the deadline has passed you would need to copy the assignment and resend it.

Occasionally, circumstances may require you to adjust deadlines for active assignments. Fortunately, with Kognity, the process is straightforward. Follow these steps to seamlessly update deadlines, and remember, you can also make other modifications to enhance the assignment.

Go to the 'Assignments' tab and locate the specific assignment you wish to modify under 'Active assignments.' Click on the desired assignment to access its details.
