Step 3 (delete a group): Open the three dots menu to the right of the group you want to delete and select Delete.

You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the group. If any students were attached to the group, they will automatically be moved into the section at the top for Unassigned Students.

Step 4 (edit a group or group set): You can edit the group set name by hovering over it and selecting the pencil icon. For an individual group, you can change the description by clicking into the text box and you can change the group name by hovering over it and selecting the pencil icon.

Step 5 (remove a student): To remove a student from a group, click on the three dots by the student’s name and select either Unassign or the name of another group.
