educationAssignment: publish

Namespace: microsoft.graph

Publish an education assignment.

Change the status of an educationAssignment from its original draft status to the published status.

You can change the status from draft to scheduled if the assignment is scheduled for a future date.

Only a teacher in the class can make this call. When an assignment is in draft status, students will not see the assignment, nor will there be any submission objects. Calling this API creates educationSubmission objects and displays the assignment in each student's list.

The status of the assignment goes back to draft if there is any backend failure during publish process.

To update the properties of a published assignment, see update an assignment.

This API is available in the following national cloud deployments.
