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

In Mastery Connect, you can clone a formative item-based assessment and re-align it to a new standard.  

The cloned assessment can include items from your personal item bank, and district item banks. Items from paid third party item banks can also be cloned if cloning has been enabled for those items. District Approved assessments, and document-based assessments cannot be cloned and re-aligned.

Note: Mastery Connect admins and users with benchmark permissions can clone and re-align benchmark assessments.
