# How do I edit or delete a group set in a course?

Once you have [created a group set](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-group-set-in-a-course/ta-p/693), you can edit it at any time. Editing a group set allows you to change the group set name, [create self sign-up groups](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-create-self-sign-up-groups-in-a-group-set/ta-p/691), and [assign a student group leader](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-assign-a-student-leader-to-a-group/ta-p/944).

If self sign-up is allowed, you can also set or change the number of group members allowed in a group, but changing a member limit will apply to all groups in your group set. You can modify the limitations within an individual group, such as changing one group to allow a few more members than the other groups. However, at a later time if you decide to edit the entire group set and change the group set limitations, Canvas will override all member limitations created within individual groups.

You can delete a group set from your course if necessary. Deleting a group set also deletes all groups within that set.

**Notes:**

<div id="bkmrk-if-you-delete-a-grou"><div>- If you delete a group set that has been used for a graded group assignment, student names, rather than group names, display in SpeedGrader. However, students that were assigned grades prior to deleting the group set will still display the same submission, grade, and assignment comments.
- If the deleted group set was assigned for a future group assignment and is not replaced with another group set, students may see a warning that their submission is being used for a group. However, their submission, grade, and assignment comments will only display for them.
