# Cohorts Data

**Cohorts** show how the same group of students has performed over time. Two options exist when working with cohorts: **Cohorts** and **Cohorts, Looking Back**.

## **Viewing Cohorts Data**

Use the **Cohorts** option when selecting an assessment in the past.

**Step 1:** Within any assessment’s data view, click **Edit**.
