Hi

Here is a problem I have run into. Any assistance is appreciated. My students will work in the free-response box. The next school day, without changing the code, the student is not able to see the previous input to edit. I can see the work on the teacher dashboard, but when the students open the slide, the free response box, is blank. How can I make it possible for my students to edit previous work? This is an example of my student’s work, and we want to edit it the next day.. But their free response box is blank. Our 4th-grade writing standard requires editing of previous work.

The best way is to have classes set up and assign to a class. As long as they sign in the same way, work should be saved and accessible. When using a Single Session code, students can sign in more than once if they log in differently. I’m not sure how to tell that, but if you submit a [help ticket](https://service.amplify.com/support), someone can look into it.
