When you first sign in, choose your role and region, then edit the school day (periods and times), then tap each cell of the timetable grid to add a subject, class and room. To start quickly, tap Fill with an example week and change it. You can redo this any time from Settings, Edit profile and timetable.

Yes. In setup choose Week 1 / Week 2 and pick any date in a Week 1. You fill in each week separately, and there's a button to copy one week onto the other.

Tap any lesson on Today or Week, write a title, objectives and notes, and save. Use Repeat next week to copy the plan to the same lesson a week later, or try Sunday Sweep to plan the whole week.

Open Classes, tap New class, and type or paste your pupils, one per line. You can also import a CSV from your school system: only first names are kept. Please use first names or initials only, and never add sensitive details.

It matches the class name on your timetable to the name of a class in Classes. If your timetable says 9B, a class called 9B (or 9B Maths) is picked up automatically. If it doesn't appear, check the names match.

Each class has a grid of pupils against assignments. Tap a cell to move a pupil from not handed in, to handed in, to marked, to missing. Your Today screen shows how many items are waiting to be marked, and a To chase list of pupils who haven't handed in overdue work.

Yes, it's optional. Open a class, choose Pupils, add groups such as Set 2 or Red table, then pick a group for each pupil. In the timetable you can set a slot to a group, and Lesson Mode, the pupil picker and the group maker then work within just that group.

Yes. Open a class, choose Seating, tap a pupil and then a seat, and tap two seats to swap them. The plan saves with the class and shows in Lesson Mode.

Two clocks on screen are confusing, so the lesson countdown shows by default and an activity timer (for example 5 minutes for a task) takes over the display while it runs, then hands back to the lesson countdown when it ends or you press Back to lesson clock.

A question, riddle, instruction or do-now task, with an optional list, that you set on a lesson. The board shows it before the lesson starts so pupils know what to do as they arrive.

Yes. Paste a Google Slides, PowerPoint online, Canva, Genially or Prezi link into the lesson and it appears beside the timer. For private decks the embed may not load, in which case there is an Open in a new tab button. In Google Slides share the deck as anyone with the link, and in PowerPoint online use File, Share, Embed.

In Settings, Edit profile and timetable, tick PPA time on a slot and it shows as planning time and is never counted as a lesson. To cancel lessons for a trip, assembly or strike day, use Cancel lessons on Today or the calendar, choose the dates and a reason, and those lessons disappear from Today, Week, Sunday Sweep, your calendar feed and the Sunday email. You can restore them any time.

Yes. Open a lesson, then Files, and attach PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, text or image files up to 10 MB each (100 MB in total). You can also add links. Files are private to you and deleted with the lesson or your account. Please don't upload anything containing pupils' personal details.

Yes. It runs in any modern browser, so there's nothing to install on school laptops. On a phone you can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app: in Safari tap Share then Add to Home Screen, and in Chrome use the install option.

Your plans, timetable, tasks, classes and calendar still open from the copy saved on your device. Changes to lesson plans, tasks, check-ins and the marking tracker are kept and sync automatically when you're back online. Things like creating classes or events need a connection.

Yes. In Settings choose Create my calendar link and add the link to your calendar app. Lessons, events and tasks with due dates then show there and stay up to date. Treat the link as private.

You add a card to start a free trial of everything, but nothing is charged during the trial. We email you a few days before it ends. If you do nothing your card is charged for the plan you chose; if you cancel before then (Settings, then Manage billing) you pay nothing. After a cancellation you can still view and export your plans, but you need a subscription to add or change things.

Open Settings and choose Manage billing, then cancel. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.

On the sign-in page choose Forgot your password to get a reset link, or Email me a sign-in link to sign in without a password. Both links expire and work once.
