Retracting or removing a published assessment

Note: To complete these procedures, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and roles: Overview.

Once an assessment is published, you can retract it from student access or remove it.

To retract a published assessment

1. Under "Published Assessments", select Settings from the drop-down of the assessment you want to retract.
   
   
2. On the Settings page, click Delivery Dates to reveal this setting's options.
   
   
3. You can either retract your assessment immediately or specify a date and time.
   
   
   • To retract the assessment immediately, click Retract Now. This will take you to the Immediate Assessment Retract Confirmation page, where you can click Retract to continue or Cancel to return to the Settings page.
     
     
   • To retract the assessment at a specified date and time, click the Calendar icon to the right of the Retract Date text box. Once you have selected a date and time, click Save Settings at the bottom of the screen.

When you retract an assessment, it remains under "Published Assessments", but moves from the "Active (testing in progress)" section to the "Inactive (no student access)" section.

To return a retracted assessment to active status, follow the above steps, but delete the date and time from the Retract Date text box. The assessment will have the same URL as it did before you retracted it.

To remove a published assessment

1. Under "Published Assessments", select Remove from the drop-down of the assessment you wish to remove.
   
   
2. Click Remove again to confirm.
