Hiding your assignment from students View

This guide shows you how to hide an assignment from view within MyLO. You can also choose to hide an assignment folder as a way to review marks and feedback given. More information on how to do this can be found here: Reviewing Class Marks for Moderation

When creating a new assignment, the availability of the assignment is automatically set to be hidden from view, which is the draft visibility state. When content is in a draft state it cannot be seen by users. Making the assignment draft will also hide it within Content.:

The hidden icon will appear next to the assignment in the Lecturer view of  your Assignment Submission Folders. Students will not be able to see this assignment until it is made visible.Hidden from view icon
