# How do I move a student into a different group?
You can move students within groups. However, changes should be made before assigning a group to an assignment.
If a student is added to or removed from a group after receiving submissions, the submissions and grades may not align correctly. If a student is added to a group after the group submission, any re-submissions will overwrite the original submission; all previous grades will remain but the Gradebook will show the assignment was resubmitted since last graded. If you want to move a group member with a graded submission, you may want to [clone the group set](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-view-all-groups-in-a-course-as-an-instructor/ta-p/696) instead.
**Note:** In group assignments, all students should be assigned to groups before the assignment is published. Grades and submissions may be affected for students who were not in a group at the time of assignment submission but who were later added to a group.
