Student writing is auto-saved every 60 seconds. If a student accidentally deletes an essay or loses part of a response due to connectivity issues, you can access auto-saved work as follows:
- From your Course Home Page, click the Students tab.
- On the Find a Student page, type all or part of the student's name in the Search field. Students that match the search criteria will be listed in the table.
