Creating Student Profiles

Save settings for individual students to speed up worksheet creation.

Creating Student Profiles

If you teach multiple students with different needs, Student Profiles let you save preferred settings for each one. Switch between students and have all their preferred settings applied automatically.

What is a Student Profile?

A Student Profile stores:

Student name (can be pre-filled on worksheet footers)
Preferred font and size (line height)
Preferred line type
Letter and Word spacing preferences
Preferred Sheet Type (can select multiple Sheet Types and multiple quantities)
On/Off Name & Date field and its Name & Date text
Footer details
A Student Profile stores ALL THE SETTINGS INSIDE SHEET BUILDER

A Student Profile DOES NOT store:
