Deleting a subject

In Surpass, a subject is where you create and manage items for use in tests. Subjects can hold folders and sub-folders of items, allowing for flexible organisation of your test content. You can also upload media to your subject’s media library for use in its items. A subject is associated with at least one centre. Any tests created in the subject can be scheduled at the associated centre(s).

Deleting a subject removes all data from Surpass. Once deleted, a subject cannot be restored.

This article explains how to delete a subject in the Subjects screen of Setup, including details on all prerequisite steps.
