Remove a duplicate Independent Practice assignment
If the same Independent Practice was assigned to a student more than once, a clock icon appears next to it in the Actions column.
- Select the clock icon to open the Independent Practice Assignment History.
- Select the bin icon next to the copy you want to remove.

Result: that copy is removed from the assignment history.
Removing an Independent Practice assignment for a whole class
To remove an Independent Practice assignment for multiple students in the same class:
- Hover over Teacher in the top left and select Teacher Panel.
- Open the Independent Practice tab.

- Select the boxes next to the students whose assignment you want to remove.

Note: this action removes an Independent Practice assignment. It is not possible to remove lessons from a student's history. If you're clearing out last year's work before a new school year starts, removing assignments won't do it. See End-of-Year Procedures for what can and can't be cleared, and what to export first.
