Updating a Copy with Changes Made to the Original

When a copy is linked to an original assignment, anytime changes are made to the original, the system will allow you to update the copy with those changes.

If the original version of a linked assignment has changed, you will be alerted to this on the Edit Assignment screen, where you will see an Update this assignment to match those changes link in the Linked options area. When you click this link, the system will replace the copy with a new copy of the original.
