Make a Copy

The "Make a Copy" feature allows you to create copies or versions of a guide for various purposes. These copies are accessible from the Versions panel.

You can access the "Make a Copy" feature by using the Make a Copy button in the top right-hand corner of the Interactive Teacher Guide's interface. A pop-up banner at the bottom will let you know when the copy is created.

To access your created copies (versions), go to the Versions panel within the Interactive Teacher Guide.

Once you've successfully created a copy or version, the "Make a Copy" option may hide itself from the header. However, you can always create additional copies by launching the parent version from the library.

Inside the Teacher Support panel, you will find a range of guidelines, resources, and materials to support your teaching efforts.

The presence of the Green Apple icon may vary depending on the topic or sub-topic you are currently exploring. If you do not see the icon, it means that topic or sub-topic does not have additional teacher support guidelines.

Navigation Arrows

The navigation arrows at either end of the screen serve as a convenient tool for moving through the guide. By using the arrows, you can easily progress to the next topic or sub-topic within the guide or return to previously-viewed content.
