Assignment Operations: Manage, Edit, and Control Access

Once your assignment is running, LearningFlow gives you flexible controls to manage its availability, update details, and control how participants can join.

Pausing, Resuming, and Locking Assignments​

You can control assignment status to manage when learners can access it:

Pause Assignment​

  • Click the Pause Assignment button to temporarily suspend the session.

  • When paused, the assignment disappears from learner view (even if they have already joined).

  • Participants cannot enter or interact with the assignment until you resume it.

    Paused Assignment UI

Resume Assignment​

  • Click Resume Assignment to make the session available again for participants.

  • The assignment will reappear in the viewer, allowing learners to continue where they left off.

    Resumed Assignment UI

Lock Assignment​

  • Locking an assignment prevents any further access or submissions, just like pausing.

  • Locked assignments display a special “Locked” status to indicate their state.

Editing Assignments​

You can update assignment settings at any time:

  • Click Edit on your assignment’s detail page.
  • Changes you can make:
    • Change assignment title and description
    • Adjust end dates (deadlines)
    • Add, remove, or reorder included flows
    • Set or update assignment type (Single, Multi, Book)
    • Change AI payment mode (who pays for AI/model usage)

These edits will apply instantly; participants will see the new details the next time they access the assignment.

Changing the Join Code​

Each assignment has a unique join code, which can be customized:

  1. In the assignment’s detail screen, find the Edit Join Code option.

  2. See your current join code, and enter a new one (as long as it’s not in use by another assignment).

  3. Confirm the change.

    • Note: When you change the join code, the assignment’s join URL will also change.
    • Make sure to distribute the updated join code or URL to participants as needed.

Good to Know​

  • Pausing or locking assignments prevents all participants from accessing them, even if they previously joined. Resume to restore access.
  • Edit assignments to keep your sessions up-to-date—change flows, participants, settings, or deadlines at any time.
  • Custom join codes make it easier for participants to remember or for you to distribute access securely. Changing the join code will generate a new join link.
