You can edit activities you made. To change an activity made by Tuva or another teacher, make a copy and edit the copy.

Copy an activity

1. Open the activity you want to change.
2. Click Copy. Tuva shows “Copying Activity…” and then “Activity Copied!”.
3. You land in the activity builder with your own copy. It is private and unpublished, and it keeps a note saying which activity it was copied from.
4. Give the copy a unique name, edit it, then publish it.

Only teachers see Copy. Accounts without a subscription have a limit on how many activities they can copy or create. If you reach it, you will see a Premium message.

“Fork” is the word for copying a dataset, not an activity. See Fork a dataset.

Edit an activity

• You can edit an activity you own.
• If the activity belongs to a Tuva dataset, you also need access to that dataset (Premium datasets need Premium).
• Changing an activity after you assign it can affect work students have started. See Create an activity for a dataset.

Publish and share an activity

• Publish needs at least one step of instructions or questions. A published activity is private: only you can see it until you assign it to a class.
• Unpublish hides it again. Students who already started can still see their work.
• To assign it, use the Assign button. See Preview and assign activities.
• For an activity on a dataset you uploaded yourself, you can choose Only Me & My Students or Anyone with the link. To make it public, you confirm a short guidelines checklist and submit it for review. It becomes available to anyone with the link once Tuva approves it.
• The Share button is switched off for activities that are unpublished, private or not yet reviewed. Its hint says to set the visibility of your activity to public.

If you cannot make an activity public, send us a ticket with the link to the activity.

Find newer data

• Activity pages show an Updated date.
• Tuva datasets do not show a “last updated” date on the dataset page, and we have no automatic refresh for them. If you need newer data, or want a dataset that is not in the library, send us a ticket with the dataset name and the year or source you need. See also Find Tuva Collections.
• For data you imported from Google Drive or OneDrive, use the refresh icon on My Datasets. See Unblock pop-ups.
