My District is importing classes from Clever/Classlink, but I want to sync my classes from Google Classroom

If you would like to sync your classes from Google Classroom as opposed to using your bulk rostered classes, click your initials in the top right > Select Settings > Class Directory > Sync from Google.
Syncing from Google Classroom should auto-archive your Clever classes.
Clever classes can also be manually archived.
