Students can retake training assignments for self-study or to improve their score. Students are allowed an unlimited number of retakes until the due date. Only the student's best score is recorded in the gradebook.

If you generated a companion exam when you created your training, any changes you make to the training content are copied to the companion exam.

Edits do not affect students who have already started or submitted the previous version of the assignment.
