After a Common Assessment has been created and shared, administrators and coordinators can monitor its progress and access student performance reports.
Where to find your Common Assessments
The Common Assessments dashboard is the central hub for managing all assessments. To access it, click on 'Common Assessments' in the left navigation pane.
Each Common Assessment is listed under three respective status tabs:
- Active: The active testing window between the start and end times. Teachers can administer the Common Assessment, and admins can begin tracking participation and performance data in reports. You can only edit the 'End Date' for the Common Assessment during this time. Other edits are not allowed.
- Scheduled: The period between creation and the official start time. You can edit both the content and session settings during this phase.
- Ended: After the end time has passed. No new sessions can be started, and reports now contain final data for analysis.

You can also organize and manage all Common Assessments within each tab by using the search filed along with various filtering options. These options include filters such as 'Created by,' 'Subject,' 'Grade,' and 'Date range,' which help you to easily narrow down and arrange assessments according to your specific criteria.

Editing a Common Assessment
You can edit a Common Assessment depending on its current status:
- Before the start time: While the assessment is in the Scheduled state, the creator of the Common Assessment can make adjustments to both the assessment content and its settings.
- Sharing edit access: By default, only the creator can edit a Common Assessment. To allow others to make edits, you can add them as co-editors from the Common Assessment's share settings.
- During the Active stage: Once the Common Assessment is in the Active stage, only the end time can be adjusted
Managing teams
If you shared the assessment with a custom team, you can add or remove teachers at any time from the Teams section in My Library.
By default, only the creator can edit a Common Assessment. To grant editing rights to others, you can share the Common Assessment with them and assign them the 'can edit' permission.
