Questions about this workflow
Will this edit course assignments?
No. The action retrieves assignments for review and does not modify them.
Can it know which assignments are relevant?
Notis can identify possible relationships based on returned assignment information and the findings, and should label them as suggestions.
What if I need multiple courses?
