The Shuffle button lets you quickly randomize student groupings in synchronous (sync) room assessments—saving time and giving you flexibility when managing groups.
What the Shuffle Button Does
Randomizes Groups: Reassigns students into new rooms with one click
Respects Absences: Students marked absent stay absent
Follows Room Settings: Distributes students based on your students per room configuration
Handles Odd Numbers: Rooms may be uneven if the total student count doesn’t divide evenly
How to Use the Shuffle Button

Go to Room Management
Click Shuffle to randomize student groupings
Review the updated rooms

Note: If you create a room with a single student, a confirmation pop-up will appear. Select OK to keep the one-student room.
