NOTE:

Assignment tasks can be modified by both Learners and Teachers. Learners can modify tasks if they have the corresponding permissions. Permissions usually depend on task status. See the table below:

The View type permission means that learners can only view items and attached documents.

The Edit type permission means that learners can view, edit items and view, edit or delete documents which they attached. Note that once documents are attached/edited by teachers they cannot be managed by learners.

Once a task is generated and saved as draft by teacher, it cannot be managed by Learner despite the Learner sees the task status as Not Started.

For more information about task statuses, see the Task Status paragraph.
