Is there a difference between editing an asset and clicking “Unassign” under owner versus going to “Assets” → “Check In / Out”?

@MLocke 773d4ae eacs Thank you for submitting your question to our community! 😄

You can check in a device without unassigning it from the owner. Many schools do this if they let their students keep the same chromebooks year after year. Other schools make sure to hit the unassign toggle so the device is no longer checked out by the student. 

When you click on an asset and unassign it, it will just simply unassign the asset from that user.

I hope this helps!
