For the users that have not yet joined the organization, select the role on the top and use the following two options to invite them to the class. They will also claim licenses from your account when they join. If your admins turn off the ability for teachers to invite users from outside the organization, these options will not be available to you. Please have your admins roster the users first before inviting them to the class, or ask your admins to adjust the Classes permissions settings for the Teacher role. Please see more information in this article.

  • Download and share the QR code.
  • Copy and share the invite link.

For the users who are already part of the license, please share the invite code with them to join the class.

You can apply the filter or search for the class with keywords. There are three ways to look for the classes.

1. Adjust the order of how the classes display: Click the Order button on the top right of the window and select one of the orders from the list:

  • Most recently created
  • Least recently created
  • A-Z
  • Z-A

  • Created by anyone: All the classes will be displayed.
  • Created by me: Only the classes you created will be displayed.
  • Created by others: Only the classes not created by you will be displayed.

The archived classes can be found in the Archived tab on the Classes page. All the class data is stored in the class and can be accessed by the teacher if the class is restored. To archive the class, click the triple dots button next to the class and select Archive.
