Create, assign, and manage groups for a Breakout Learning assignment.
1. Open the Groups tab

- Select the Groups tab.
2. Review group status
If participants have not yet been assigned to a group, you'll see a notification with options to:
- Allow participants to self-select their groups.
- Randomly assign all unassigned participants.
3. Manage groups
From the Groups tab, you can:
- View unassigned participants.
- View existing groups.
- Search for participants or groups.
- Filter groups by status.
- Create new groups.
4. Create new groups
- Enter the number of groups to create.
- Optionally schedule a meeting time for each group.
- After creating groups, you can rename them and update their meeting schedules.
5. Assign participants
Assign participants by selecting a group from the drop-down menu next to each unassigned participant.
You can also:
- Randomly assign participants to groups.
- Fill existing groups before creating additional groups.
6. Edit existing groups
For each group, you can:
- Add or remove participants.
- View only unassigned participants or all participants.
- Rename the group.

7. Use bulk actions
The Groups menu includes options to:
