Find your way around a workspace

What's in a workspace (next lesson, homework, timeline, files, schedule) and how to post, reply to, edit and delete notes.

A
Written by Adam Bedford

You get a workspace for each tutor and subject once you accept a lesson reservation. It keeps the next lesson, homework, notes and files for that subject in one place, shared between you and your tutor.

1. Open your workspaces

Select Workspaces in the menu (1), then a row (2) to open it.

The Workspaces list, with Workspaces in the menu marked 1 and the Maths GCSE row marked 2

Select Archived at the top of the list to see workspaces your tutor has archived.

2. See what's in the workspace

  • Next lesson (1): Open lesson shows the details.

  • Homework (2): Hand in for each open piece. All homework includes homework you've already handed in.

  • Files (3): everything either of you has shared.

  • Schedule (4): your lesson reservations with this tutor.

  • Timeline, below the homework: notes, shared files and homework events, by lesson.

Message with your tutor's name (for example Message Tara) opens your conversation. Share file shares a file into the workspace (see Share files in a workspace).

3. Post a note

In Timeline, type in "Share a note or file with…" (1). You can add files with Attach Files. Select Post (2).

The timeline box with a note typed in it (1) and Post (2)

Your note appears at the top of the timeline, and your tutor sees it in the same workspace.

4. Reply to a note

Point at a note and select Reply under it. Type your reply (1) and select Reply (2).

5. Edit or delete your own note

Point at a note you wrote. The pencil (1) edits it and the bin (2) deletes it. You can only change your own notes and replies.

To edit, change the text and select Save (1).

To delete, select the bin, then Delete comment. Deleting a note also deletes its replies, for everyone in the workspace.

Good to know

  • On a phone, the workspace is split into Overview, Timeline and Files tabs at the top.

  • Show earlier at the bottom of the timeline loads older notes.

  • When your tutor archives a workspace, it moves to Archived in your list. Nothing in it is deleted.
