You can choose that only the teacher can edit the file and student can only view the document, but maybe you want to collaborate with the students on a file. Then the students must also be able to edit the file. In the last option you make a file and its get copied to each student, so every student can make their own changes and save it.
It is possible that you had already written out the assignment in a document. Click on Add, if you already made a file. You can upload it from the google drive or your local computer.
Besides the instructions it is also possible to add material like websites or YouTube videos. This is done by posting a link (url). This comes in handy for extra instructions or a guide for example.
After the assignment is finished, you can define how the assignment will be graded. When the assignment is due. Students that are a minute too late will not be able to hand in their assignment. If you want you can also assign a topic. Maybe you already have a topic, but you can also make a new one. Lastly it is possible too check originality reports. Maybe the assignment was an essay.
