I no longer want to use my Clever classes. Can I remove them?
Teachers cannot edit, archive, or delete any classes imported from Clever. This is because classes in Commonlit imported from Clever are managed by your school or district. Once your school or district sends us your updated classes for the upcoming school year and unshares your old classes, CommonLit will archive your old classes for you.
Schools and districts generally switch out classes for the new school year in July or August. This means you can expect CommonLit to archive your old classes by early August. If you ever need to access your archived classes, you can restore them by going to your Manage Classes page, clicking the Archived Classes link, and then clicking the Undo Archive button for the class you wish to restore.
If you have imported Clever classes but don't want to use them, you can hide them instead.
- Go to your Manage Classes page.
- Find the class you wish to hide and click Options.
- Click Hide Class.
The class will then be hidden from both your view and your students' views. To see which classes are hidden, click Hidden Classes+ below your list of classes.
To restore a hidden class, click Hidden Classes, then Options, then Undo Hide.
