FAQ FELIX-1031

What you need to know

You want to change (add, delete, edit) an assignment of a (group) task?

You can do this either via the course editor or via the tab "Edit tasks and sample solutions" in the course view (as described on this HelpCard).

The following scenarios are possible:

1). Add, delete, edit task
The task has not yet been started by any student and can therefore be modified without any problems.

2). Edit task
The task can be edited even if the task has already been started by students.

3rd) Replace task (delete / add new)
The assignment can be deleted. However, new tasks cannot be added for all students if the task has already been started by students. Add a new task via another course element.
