Warning message for deleting parent and inherited activities
Deleting a parent activity from all child classes
You can delete an activity, which is a Möbius lesson or assignment, from your class.
Deleting an activity makes it inaccessible to all users in your class, moves it to the Trash bin in the Content Repository for your class, and deletes test records and grades from the class Gradebook.
Deleting an activity won't delete its contained content from your Content Repository (Example — the questions from a deleted assignment are still available in the Questions folder of your Content Repository).
Activities can be deleted from your independent class, but also from classes with a parent-child relationship that involve inherited activities.
IMPORTANT: Once an activity is deleted, it can't be restored.
TIP: Modifying the visibility and availability of your activity are alternatives to deletion. Check out Control activity visibility.
NOTE: Deleting an activity with in-progress student attempts will remove the activity from the student Class Homepage and calendars. If the student navigates to a different question, page, or section within the activity, or clicks Submit or Quit & Save, they'll receive the error message that Möbius is unable to load the requested page. Clicking Close from the error message navigates the student back to the System Homepage.
