Editing the lesson later
Opening the lesson
- Open the lesson editor and choose File > Open from SoftChalk Cloud. Choose your lesson from the list and click ‘Open’
- OR open from your SoftChalk Cloud lesson list. Log into SoftChalk Cloud and go to My Content > Lessons
- Click your lesson to open the lesson preview page
- Scroll down the page to the ‘Lesson Actions’ on the right-hand side
- Click Edit Lesson > Edit in Create
IMPORTANT – do not choose ‘Edit in Create Online’! We have had instances where lessons edited with this have become corrupted and it was not possible to restore them.
Saving the lesson
- To save, click File > Save to SoftChalk Cloud
- Make sure to overwrite the lesson when you save it so it keeps the same distribution URL. This means you will not have to send out a new link to students every time you make an edit. To do this, ensure it is selected in the list on the right-hand side of the save box before you click save
- A pop-up will appear to warn that you are replacing the lesson – click OK
