After using Extempore for a full school year or semester, you might want to clean up your account in preparation for new students. To do this, you can archive the class.Occasionally, classes or student data may also seem inaccessible due to changes in administrative updates or visibility settings. For example, during the transition between academic terms, certain adjustments made in your Learning Management System might temporarily hide class data.
Even though an archived class is removed from your class page, it is still accessible. Unlike deleted classes, archived classes can be restored back to your instructor account.Additionally, administrative updates during term changes or specific visibility settings may cause classes or data to appear missing temporarily.
All data including assessments, questions, submissions, grades, and feedback will be restored when a class is restored from the archive page.
