Save time by duplicating an existing assignment to another class (or the same class). Duplicating copies the assignment details, rubric, and settings—you just need to upload new student submissions.

Tips

Add a section number or semester to distinguish copies (e.g., “Essay 1 - Period 2”)
Dates are copied from the original. If the original due date has passed, update the dates for your new class schedule.
If you’ve made improvements to your rubric, the duplicate will have the improved version.
You’ll need to publish to Google Classroom separately for the new class if needed.
