Step 6: Review users

Go to the “Members” tab within “Settings and members” to make sure individuals have been assigned the proper roles. If you do need to make any edits, adjust and then click “Update”. For more details on changing roles, check out this guide.

Step 10: Activate Term

Click "Mark as Active" in the top right corner to officially make this term the visible term and hide the old term from students and teachers. Their workspace will reflect the new classes and any former activities that they want to use again can be imported into the new term.
