In Mastery Connect, document-based assessments that have been created but are not yet in use in trackers must be reverted to a draft state before they can be edited.
If a document-based assessment is in use in a tracker, it cannot be reverted to a draft state, but limited edits can be made. The assessment will remain in its original form anywhere that it is already in use. To make additional edits, you can delete the assessment from all trackers and return it to a draft state, or you can clone it.
Notes:
- Assessments can only be edited by the user who created them.
- When you delete an assessment from a tracker, any existing scores in the tracker are deleted and can not be recovered.
- When you clone an assessment, it continues to exist in its original form in any trackers in which it is already being used.
