To help you avoid assigning duplicate activities, Quill indicates if activities have been previously assigned to students.

See if you have previously assigned activities when assigning an activity pack
When assigning an activity pack, you will be taken to the Review and assign page to manage the details of the activity pack before assigning it.
On the Review and assign page, scroll down to the Review activities and pick due dates section. The fields in the Previously assigned column will indicate whether or not an activity has been previously assigned to any of your students.
If the Previously assigned field is empty, then the activity has not been previously assigned. If the Previously assigned field has an icon of a person with a checkmark, then the activity has been previously assigned to at least one of your students.
Hovering your mouse over the icon of a person with a checkmark will display the name of the previously assigned activity pack containing the activity, when the activity was assigned, to which classes the activity was assigned, and to how many students the activity was assigned.
In the activity pack below, most activities have not been previously assigned, but the activity, Subject-Verb Agreement - Mixed Topics 5, has been previously assigned to students.
Use either of the strategies below to avoid assigning an activity that has been previously to students.
In the Review activities and pick due dates section, click the X icon to the far right of the activity's name to remove it from the activity pack.
In the Choose classes or students section, uncheck the names of the classes and students to whom the activity has been previously assigned; however, please note that the classes and students or classes whose names are unchecked will not be assigned any of the activities in the activity pack.
See if you have previously assigned activities on the Manage Activities page
The Manage Activities page shows all of the activities that have been assigned to your students. If an activity is on the Manage Activities page, then it has been previously assigned. Click here to learn more about navigating the Manage Activities page.

Use the keyboard shortcuts, Ctrl+f and Cmd+f, to search for and quickly find specific activities or activity packs by name.
