# Updating Assessment
## Make edits to your Instructions at any time and release them to students
Once you’ve [released your assignment](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers/releasing-assessment?hsLang=en) or set a scheduled release, you can update or edit the *most recent version* of your instructions at any time. Your students will be notified of any changes to the assignment in the Cadmus Student Environment.
You may want to use this functionality to:
- Edit the *Instructions* or *Requirements*
- Update the assignment's *Resources* as you deliver content in class
- [Provide instructions to students in stages](https://support.cadmus.io/teachers/staged-assessments?hsLang=en)
**To update your assessment**
1. From the *Instructions* tab, click **Edit Instructions**.
2. Make your changes to the assessment.
3. Click the **Release** button in the top-right corner.
4. Click **Release to Students now** (to make the changes immediately available to students), or click **Schedule for later** (to make the changes available to students at a later date).
**NOTE**: If you have instructions already released to students, as well as a scheduled update, you will only be able to edit the instructions set for the scheduled release.
