Category Course Reset

Efficiently reset all courses in a category and subcategories. Removes student enrollments, grades, and submissions while intelligently managing groups – automatically deleting numbered groups (like NT-1-1, NT-2-1) while preserving special groups (like NT-504, NT-IEP, NT-GIFTED). Perfect for schools preparing courses for a new term. The groups that are deleted and kept are configured in the plugin settings.
The Category Course Reset plugin streamlines the process of preparing courses for a new academic term by allowing administrators to reset entire categories of courses in a single operation.
NOTE: Reset can timeout if doing an entire site (or very large category)
