Disconnecting Your Google Classroom Account

This article covers how to disconnect your Google Classroom account from PaperScorer, and answers common questions about what happens when you do.

How to Disconnect

From any page in the application, click your profile image in the top-right corner to open the account menu, then click Manage Your Account.

From your account page, click Connected accounts in the left navigation. Then, to disconnect:

1. Check the box confirming you wish to disconnect your Google Classroom account.
2. Click Confirm disassociation.

PaperScorer will no longer have access to your Google Classroom data. You can reconnect at any time using the same flow as the initial setup.

What Disconnecting Does (and Doesn’t Do)

Disconnecting only removes the link between the two systems. It does not delete data on either side.

• OAuth access is revoked. PaperScorer can no longer read your Google Classroom rosters or push grades.
• Cached profile data is cleared from PaperScorer (your name and email pulled from Google).
• Imported classes and students stay in PaperScorer. They remain available for printing, scanning, and grading just as before.
• Previously synced grades stay in Google Classroom. Anything you synced before disconnecting remains in the gradebook there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to re-import my classes when I reconnect?

No. Your existing PaperScorer classes stay where they are. The only reason to re-import is if you want to pull a fresh roster from Google Classroom (for example, after students joined or left the class).

What if I revoked access from Google’s account settings instead of from PaperScorer?

The effect is similar. The next time PaperScorer tries to use the connection, the request will fail and you’ll be prompted to reconnect. For a clean break, we recommend disconnecting from PaperScorer first, then revoking access from your Google account permissions if you also want Google to forget the authorization.

Can I reconnect using a different Google account?

Yes, but classes that were imported under your previous Google account stay tied to their original Google Classroom IDs. If the new Google account doesn’t have teacher access to those classes, future syncs to them will fail. You’d need to either keep using the original account or re-import the affected classes from the new account.

Will already-synced grades disappear from Google Classroom?

No. Disconnecting only stops future updates. Anything that was already synced stays in the Google Classroom gradebook.

I’m having trouble reconnecting — what should I check?

First, make sure your browser isn’t blocking the Google consent popup. Then verify you’re signing in with a Google account that has access to the classes you want to use. If the consent screen shows a warning about scopes or permissions, accept all the requested permissions — PaperScorer needs all of them to function correctly (see the connection article for what each permission is for). If problems persist, contact PaperScorer support.
