Learn about Kami’s new feature that allows teachers to edit the assignment template files that have already been assigned to students.

Updated over a week ago

What is Kami Update Work?

Kami Update Work allows teachers to edit the file template and have those changes appear to all student copies of a Kami assignment that they have already assigned, even if the students are already working on them.

Who can use Kami Update Work?

It is available to be used by Teachers on any Kami assignments created that contain student-copy files. This means non-Kami assignments, view-only, or share-one-copy files cannot use this feature.

How to use Kami Update Work

You can access Kami Update Work by opening the template file of your chosen Kami Assignment.

Assignment Page

Once you selected your Kami assignment that you want to edit you should see the option to either open in Class View or Edit Assignment

✏️ If your students haven't opened the document yet, it will automatically take you to the Update Work section

Select Edit Assignment to get to the Update Work section

Make the changes in the file and then once ready click on the Update all button

  1. Update all button

  2. Toggle between Update Work and Class View

Once you select the Update all button you will be prompted to Update all again.

When will students see the new changes?

After clicking the Update all button, all the changes will be applied to all students' assignment files immediately. Students with their assignment file open will see the changes in real-time. Otherwise, they’ll see the changes after refreshing the Kami App tab or the next time they open their assignment file.
