Yes, you can edit an active assignment after sending it.

However, as soon as the deadline has passed you will need to copy the assignment and resend it. You can find the step-by-step guide on how to copy and resend assignments in our help center.

Step 1: Go to the ‘Assignments' tab and under ‘Active Assignments', click on the assignment you wish to edit.
