Cloning Groups

Cloning groups is when a group set is purposefully duplicated.  This allows instructors to alter whole group sets for differing reasons without affecting the original group set.

Example use case:

• An instructor would like to use the similar groups for two different assignments, that are altered slightly. Changing the original group set can cause issues with the first assignment, in this case the best solution would be to clone the original set and assign the altered clone set to the second assignment.

2. Then select the groups tab for the set of groups to clone.
