Why this helps
Old assignments can remain available after a program ends, creating clutter and accidental reuse.

Setup

- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction that deletes only the identified obsolete coursework when its related Linear project closes.
- 4Choose the Linear Project Properties Updated trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real project closure and verify the exact coursework item before relying on the workflow.
Questions about this workflow
Does project closure delete every assignment in the course?
No. The instruction should identify only the coursework that is obsolete and related to that project.
Can I use this without deleting assignments?
This workflow is specifically for removing obsolete coursework; choose a review workflow if you only need to inspect items.
