Last updated: October 15, 2026
đ Associate a paper with a student
If one or more papers werenât automatically linked to the right student, you can link them yourself, right from your teacher account.
Option 1: the paper isnât associated with a student yet
In this case, an orange âAction requiredâ box appears: it means the paper hasnât been linked to a student.
đ Hereâs what to do:
-
Open your assessment.
-
In the âStudent papersâ tab, find the paper in question (flagged with a small orange warning sign next to the name).
-
Click the paper to open the side panel on the right.
-
In that panel, click âAssociateâ in the orange âAction requiredâ box.
-
Select the right student in the window that opens.
-
Click âConfirmâ to save your choice.
-
The paper is now linked to the right student.
Option 2: the paper is already associated, but with the wrong student
Sometimes a paper is already linked to a student, just not the right one.
đ Hereâs what to do:
-
Click the paper in question.
-
Check the name of the student itâs currently associated with.
-
If itâs the wrong student, click the ââŽâ menu to the right of the studentâs row.

-
Click âAssociate paper to another studentâ
-
Select the right student, then confirm.
