I am having a similar issue mentioned before in Topics, which got resolved by doing following:

“I renamed the existing assignment file and then Got the latest version. It restored assignment file as fresh and that I was able to submit for grading with no issues”

Can anyone guide me how to get latest version or refresh the assignment?

Dear @AYESHA10,

You are right. This approach allows you to update the lab files while still preserving your own versions.

I am having an issue refreshing my assignment so that I can start from scratch. I tried following the instructions but it always sends me back to the version that i want to delete. how can i simply restart the assignment with all the original code?
