How do I edit an item-based assessment as a teacher?
In Mastery Connect, item-based assessments can only be edited when they are in a draft state. If an assessment has been created but has not been used in any trackers, it must be reverted to the draft state before it can be edited.
If an assessment is in use in a tracker you can make limited edits, but the assessment will remain in its original form anywhere that it is already in use. To make additional edits, you can delete the assessment from all trackers and return it to a draft state, or you can clone it.
Notes:
- Item bank assessments can only be edited by the user who created the assessment.
- When you delete an assessment from a tracker, any existing scores in the tracker are deleted and can not be recovered.
- When you clone an assessment, it continues to exist in its original form in any trackers in which it is already being used.
