Common questions
Which way should I choose?
Tap their name saves typing and misspelt names. Add a class code when the link might travel outside the class. Use personal codes for an assessment, so nobody can answer as someone else.
Can I change the class after I made the link?
No. The class and section are set when the link is made, because the report files under them. Make a new link for another class.
