Trouble creating assignments in Teams and distributing to sections within section groups

I am trying to create assignments in Teams and distribute to a section within a section group. However, only sections that are not a part of a section group show up as an option. I have created Teams assignments and attached pages to sections without many problems for several years. This is my first year working with teachers who use Section Groups within their notebooks and not being able to send assignment pages to those sections in the section groups is becoming very frustrating.

Hi A C I'm AnnaThomas and I'd happily help you with your question. In this Forum, we are Microsoft consumers just like yourself no one here is a Microsoft employee. The inability to assign directly to sections within section groups in Teams is a known limitation of the current platform. While you've been able to distribute assignments to sections without issues in the past, this functionality hasn't yet been extended to sections within section groups. However, there are a few possible ways to fix this: You can try to use the OneNote Class Notebook add-in for Teams to distribute pages or sections to your students’ notebooks. The add-in allows you to distribute pages or sections to any section or section group in your students’ notebooks, including the ones that are not visible in Teams. You can also try to use the OneNote Online app to distribute pages or sections to your students’ notebooks. The app allows you to distribute pages or sections to any section or section group in your students’ notebooks, including the ones that are not visible in Teams. I hope this helps ;-), let me know if this is contrary to what you need, I would still be helpful to answer more of your questions. Best Regards, AnnaThomas Give back to the community.
