Quest Ladder / Retiring a delivery
Duplicate, archive and delete a delivery
Three ways to finish with a delivery, and the one that keeps the results.
Archive keeps the link and the results. Delete keeps nothing.
Duplicate
Duplicate copies a delivery's configuration — the mode, the dose, the settings, the paper — into a new draft. It does not copy the results.
This is how the same assessment runs again next term or with a second class. It is also the safe way to try a different dose: duplicate, change, publish the copy, and the original stays as it was for the class already using it.
Archive
Archive takes a delivery out of your working list without destroying anything, and Bring back reverses it. The link and the results survive.
This is what to do with last term's work. A deliveries list with forty live entries is one nobody can navigate, and archiving costs nothing.
Delete, and when it is refused
Delete is permanent. When learners have already done work, the platform refuses and tells you what to do instead: archive it, which keeps the link and the results.
That refusal is protecting something worth protecting. The attempts attached to a delivery are the evidence of what a class did, and they are what a class report, a learner's record and any mastery judgement are built from. Deleting the delivery takes them.
Where a delivery genuinely was a mistake — created twice, pointed at the wrong ladder, never used — delete is available and appropriate.
Closing instead
There is a fourth option that is often what people actually want. Close stops further submissions while leaving everything visible: the confirmation says learners can no longer submit, results stay available, and you can publish it again later.
Close at the deadline, mark, release, and archive at the end of term. That sequence keeps every record and leaves a tidy list.
