Frequently asked or anticipated questions

Why are only assignments displayed by Classroom Export Viewer?

Unfortunately, Google does not include announcements or standalone materials in Google Classroom exports. If you would like to archive these, I would advise you to save screenshots and/or web archives of the Google Classroom stream (using the standard "Save as…" function in many Web browsers or a specialized tool such as SingleFileZ, MozArchiver, or a tool that works with WARC files).
