How do I clone and re-align a benchmark assessment?

As a Mastery Connect district administrator, benchmark author, or benchmark facilitator,  you can clone an item-based benchmark assessment and re-align it to a new standard.

Note: District Approved assessments, and document-based assessments can not be cloned and re-aligned.
