To remove a Collection, tap on the [...] and select Delete Collection. 

To remove an Activity from a Collection, from within the Collection hover over the Activity and then check the box. Select 1 or as many Activities as you want to delete, and then tap the trash can.

 

The Activities that you save in your My Library tab will remain accessible in your Seesaw account year to year unless you manually remove them. If there are Activities that you would like to remove from your My Library tab, tap the [...] button and select 'Remove from Library.'

The Activities that you save in your My Library tab will remain accessible in your Seesaw account if you move to Seesaw Starter from a paid subscription or trial. 

If you have more than the 100 saved Activities allowed for free Seesaw in your My Library tab, you will need to remove Activities from your Library before you can add additional Activities. If there are Activities that you would like to remove from your My Library tab, tap the [...] button and select 'Remove from Library.' At this time there is no option to remove Activities in bulk. 

When you're searching for an activity, use quotation marks around the activity name in the search bar! This can help you find exact matches if you know the title of the activity you're looking for. For example: "kindness matters" will retrieve only activities with "kindness matters" in the title. 

This must be done activity by activity. Currently, you cannot move activities from one folder to another in bulk.
