Overview – Google Classroom

The Google Classroom page gives administrators a synced view of the Google Classroom courses in your domain. From here you can see how many classrooms exist and their state, search for specific courses, review each course’s details, and run bulk management actions such as archiving or restoring courses.


What this guide covers


Before you begin: Open the console and go to Admin › Google Classroom. The page loads the most recently synced classroom data; you need administrator access to view and manage it.

Managing classrooms

Select one or more rows using the checkboxes, then use the action buttons above the table to manage them in bulk. Archive Items moves the selected courses to the archived state, Restore Items brings archived courses back, and Activate Items sets them to active. The buttons stay disabled until you select at least one row. You can also select Reports to export the classroom list.

Note: Delete Items permanently removes the selected classrooms and cannot be undone. Confirm your selection carefully before using it, and prefer Archive Items when you only need to retire a course.
