# Duplicate Assignment

> Copy an assignment to another class or create a similar assignment quickly

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.

## Selecting a Destination Class
