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 appear inaccessible due to administrative updates or changes in 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 temporarily cause classes or data to appear missing.
All data, including assessments, questions, submissions, grades, and feedback, will be restored when a class is restored from the archive page.
How to archive and restore a class on Extempore
Follow the steps below:
From the classes tab, click on the three dots next to the class you want to archive, then select Archive.
A pop-up warning will appear. Accept it to proceed. Your class will no longer appear on your class page. To restore it, navigate to the archived classes page.
How to restore an archived class
Even though an archived class is removed from your class page, it is still accessible. Unlike deleted classes, archived classes can be restored.
Follow the steps below:
Click your profile in the top-right corner of the screen, then select Archived Classes.
Find the class you want to restore. Then click Restore Class.
Your class will display in the classes tab and gradebook. If your restored class or its assessments fail to display, consider verifying your filters, clearing your browser cache, or testing in a different browser to check for potential compatibility issues. If the missing data involves unenrolled students, navigating to the class roster and enabling visibility of hidden or unenrolled students may help retrieve submissions, recordings, or other pertinent data.
