How to host a class in Google Classroom
Hosting a class in Google Classes can help you remove it from your Classes dashboard while still having access to all of the class’s posts and comments. This can be useful if you want to get rid of old layers without deleting them. Once this is done, the class will switch to the Hosted Classes dashboard. Teachers will not be able to make any changes until classes are restored.
So, let’s see how to host Google Classroom using desktop and mobile apps.
Using a web browser
Step 1: Open Google Classroom on any web browser.
Step 2: Go to the class you want to archive and click on the ellipsis icon.
Step 3: Then, click Archive.
Step 4: Again, click Archive to confirm.
Use the Google Classroom mobile app
Step 1: Open the Google Classroom mobile app.
Step 2: Click the three-dot icon at the top right of the layer you want to archive.
Step 3: Then, tap Archive.
Step 4: Click Archive again to confirm.
This will effectively cache the class. However, if you want to make any changes or accidentally archive the wrong layer, you can also unarchive it. This is the way.
How to unarchive a class in Google Classroom
