🤔 FAQs
Can learners see which groups they're in? Learners cannot see groups they've been assigned to.
What's the difference between deleting a group and end-dating it? End-dating a group archives it — the group becomes inactive, but all associated data (learners, LXs, progress records) is preserved and remains accessible. Deleting a group permanently removes it and cannot be undone. In most cases, end-dating is the right choice. If you're unsure, reach out to your Beacon Support Team before deleting.
