Who can use this?

  • Who: Teachers and co-teachers
  • Plans: All plans
  • Where: The class's Assignments tab

​
Limits and notes

  • Folders are for your own organisation. Students never see them.
  • An assignment with no folder sits under Uncategorized, listed last.
  • Deleting a folder deletes nothing else; its assignments move to Uncategorized.

​
Create and use folders

1

Create a folder

On the Assignments tab, select New folder, type a name such as “Unit 3 · Poetry” and select Create folder.
2

Move assignments in

Open an assignment row’s menu and select Move to folder, then pick the folder. To move several, tick their rows and use Move to folder in the bar at the bottom. No folder (uncategorized) takes one back out.
3

Keep the list tidy

Use the arrows on a folder header to move it up or down. The header’s menu has Rename folder and Delete folder.
You can also file an assignment as you create it: the Folder field is in Instant’s Materials & organization section, on Guided’s Details step, and under Settings > General afterwards.

​
Group by something else

The Group by control at the top switches between Folder, Status and None. The Format, Status and Folder filters narrow the list; folder reordering is hidden while a filter is on.

​
How to tell it worked

The list shows a header per folder with its assignments beneath, and Uncategorized at the bottom for the rest.

​
If something goes wrong

Clear the search and filters. Reordering only works on the full list.
Nothing was lost. The assignments are under Uncategorized; make the folder again and move them back.
