While the creation experience in Book Creator is similar for both teachers and students, there are important differences between the two account types that can impact how the app is used. Understanding these nuances such as who can create libraries, invite others, or publish books, is key to making sure you and your students have the best possible experience. This article will help clarify how to sign in, choose the right role, and update account details when needed.
