It happens: sometimes a student makes a mistake in an activity or lesson and needs to start over. In Xello, you can reset a lesson and delete all of the student's progress to give the student a fresh start.

NoteNote: The option to reset a lesson is available only for Xello-made lessons. Custom lessons cannot be reset.

  4. Locate the lesson you plan to reset and click on the title.
  5. In the tile with the student's current progress status, click Reset lesson.

warningWarning: Resetting a student's lesson cannot be undone. Once you confirm the reset, the student will need to redo the lesson from the beginning.

When students access the lesson after it's been reset, they'll see a notification on the introduction page that states which educator reset the lesson and when. This notification will remain there until they've restarted the lesson.
