Editing or deleting a snippet

This article explains how to edit or delete a snippet in Arbor. If you created the snippet, you can edit or delete it directly. If someone else created it, you must ask them to make changes. If the creator is no longer available, a new snippet must be created, and the old one removed by contacting Arbor Support.

If you've set up a snippet incorrectly, you may wish to edit or remove it from Arbor so it can no longer be used.

I did not create the snippet

Staff can't edit another snippet someone else has created.

• If the staff member who created the snippet is still at your school, please ask them to follow the instructions below to remove or edit it.
• If the staff member is no longer at your school, you will need to set up a new snippet, and we will need to remove the old one. Contact the Arbor Support Team and provide code 1041 if supported by Arbor, or your Support Partner if not supported by Arbor outlining which snippets need to be deleted.

I created the snippet

Go to a place where snippets can be used (for example the comment box on a summative marksheet), and select Snippets.

Select the snippet, then click Delete snippet or Edit snippet. If you did not create the snippet, these buttons will not be clickable.

Please note that changes to the snippet will not affect text already created with the snippet.
