# Reassign Content Between Teachers

> Move a classroom, or a standalone activity, assessment, or study guide, from one teacher to another — for leave cover, departures, or rebalancing.

**Reassign** (Institution Admins only) changes who owns a piece of content. The classic case is a teacher going on leave: their classroom, its activities, and its students move to the colleague covering, and everything keeps working under the new owner.

## What you can reassign

| Unit                                       | What moves with it                                                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **A classroom**                            | The classroom, its roster and gradebook, its activities, and any assessments or study guides used only by that classroom. Enrolled students follow. |
| **A standalone activity**                  | An activity that isn't inside a classroom.                                                                                                          |
| **A standalone assessment or study guide** | One that isn't attached to any classroom.                                                                                                           |

Both teachers must belong to your institution. Experiences (field trips) can't be reassigned yet.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose the teacher and the item">
    Pick the current owner, then the classroom or item from their list.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the new owner">
    Pick the receiving teacher.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview">
    Nothing changes yet. The preview lists **what moves** (including the student count for a classroom), **what stays**, and any warnings or blockers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    The move is made in one step. It appears in the [Activity log](/staff/activity-log) and under **Recent reassignments** on the page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What the preview can tell you

**Blocked** — you must resolve these first:

* The activity is inside a classroom. Reassign the whole classroom instead; moving a single activity out from under its class would break the class.
* A quiz in the classroom has a live game running. Wait for it to end.

**Heads up** — the move goes ahead, but you should know:

* The receiving teacher's plan will be over its activity limit afterwards. Nothing is lost, but they can't create new activities until they're back under the limit.
* An activity uses per-student or group assignment that the receiving teacher's plan can't create new assignments for. Existing assignments keep working.
* An activity has Google Drive attachments. Files stay in the original teacher's Drive and don't move.
* Students move with the classroom, so the new teacher gains access to their work.
* An assessment or study guide is shared with the original teacher's other classrooms, so it stays with them. The moved classroom keeps access.

## What always stays the same

* Public and student links keep working; only the owner behind them changes.
* Tag definitions are copied into the new owner's tags, matched by name.
* Grading history and records of who did what are kept as they were.
* The original teacher's account and everything else they own are untouched.

<Warning>
  Reassignment is one-way. There's no undo button, but the same tool works in reverse — the **Recent reassignments** list on the page shows exactly what moved, so you can move it back.
