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

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!
How do you check the device in without unassigning it? To test this I opened check in/out. I assigned a chromebook to a student. In Assets Explorer the device is now assigned to the student. I then checked the device back in and it has been unassigned. Thank you. It would be helpful in the fall not to have to reassign all of our chromebooks at the middle school. If we could just have a check in option to move the location or something but not assign it from the student if they will receive the same device the following school year.
Using Batch Check In, you can ensure the toggle is off so the devices will stay assigned to that user.
I hope this helps!
