Edit a written assignment after generating print forms

After you've generated a first set of forms, the content of the assignment becomes locked. To edit the content, you must first delete the generated forms

error_outline Generated forms that are deleted in Ans should no longer be used. New barcodes are generated each time you create new print forms. Barcodes of deleted forms won't be recognized when uploading, which means each scan has to be linked to the student result manually.

To delete the generated forms, follow the steps below.

  1. Navigate to your assignment.
  2. Click Taking in the menu at the top.
  3. Click -icon next to the Download x forms button.
  4. Click Delete.
  5. Click Confirm.

After deleting the forms, you can edit the written assignment and generate new print forms by following the steps above.

error_outline Once print forms have been generated, you cannot edit the written assignment unless you delete the forms first. You can still edit the grading schemes of the questions without deleting the forms.
