✅ Step 2: End of School Year
Delete Users Not Returning Next Year

If you do not have an LMS connection, you can delete users who will not be returning for the following school year.  Delete Users Tutorial

 

Note: Once user accounts have been deleted, any data within those accounts will be deleted as well and cannot be recovered.

 

If you do have an LMS connection, create a group titled “To Be Deleted,” add users to it, and contact support to delete users in that group. Contact Support 

Unassign or Reassign Seats

For users that will be returning the following school year, you may unassign their seats. Users with an unassigned seat will retain their account and projects, however they may not be able to log into their account and may not be able to collaborate with their teacher or peers.
