Educators can now reuse their Assignments and GradesSettings in Microsoft Teams for Education! Educators often spend a lot of time configuring the Assignments and Grades setting for their Class Team, and this is especially true with the introduction of new Grading features like Weighted Grading Categories and Grading Schemes.

To make it easier to configure your settings, we’ve introduced a new feature that allows you to import your settings from another class. Import Settings will bring over all of your Assignments and Grades settings, including default due date, calendar settings, notification settings, new student policy, turn in celebrations, Reflect integration, grading schemes, grading categories, and average grade settings. This way you can easily configure your settings for one Class Team and reuse them next year or for multiple sections of the same class.
