Unassign learning from a group

Remove learners from the content that no longer serves them.

Unassign learning when a group no longer needs it, for example when a course has been replaced by a newer one.

Before you start

  • Admins can unassign any item. Others can unassign items they created or collaborate on, or that were assigned to them with Redistribution turned on, from groups they manage.

Unassign an item

  1. In the sidebar, select Manage › Groups and select the group's name. It opens in a new tab.

  2. Under Assigned Learning, select View All Learning.

  3. Select ... on the item's row, then Unassign from Group.

    The row menu on a group's Assigned Learning page with Unassign from Group highlighted

    Remember❗: Members who only had the item through this group lose access to it, and people who join the group later won't get it. Their progress records are kept.

  4. Select Unassign to confirm.

You'll see a message such as "Handling Customer Complaints unassigned from Returns Desk Team", and the item disappears from the group's Assigned Learning.

Good to know

  • People assigned another way keep it. If someone was also assigned by name, or through another group or rule, they still have the item.

  • Nobody is notified when learning is unassigned, either in HowNow or by email.

  • You can also remove the group from the content. Open the content's Assign Learners panel and remove the "Group is ..." pill.
