Step by Step Guide

What is the Visit Library feature?

The Visit Library feature provides education leaders, coaches and admins with easy access to a Teacher's libraries.

What has changed?

In Admin Console, you can access the Teacher's user profile by clicking on the Teacher's avatar or from the menu option. The profile pop up provides a summary of the Teacher's books, and libraries with a link to visit a library.

How does it work?

As a user with admin permissions when you visit a Teacher's library you are temporarily assigned 'co-teacher' privileges and can perform any task a co-teacher can perform. Including but not limited to;

  • view and edit books

  • configure library settings

  • add co-teachers

As a library visitor you will be asked to provide the reason for your visit. Visiting a library will open a new browser tab in the book creator app.

As a library visitor you will be able to browse content, read books, show invite codes, configure library settings, promote co-teachers.

What will the Teacher see?

The owner of the library will see a notification of the visit detailing who, when and reason for visit.

How do I leave a visited library?
A maximum of 10 visited libraries will be saved on your Teacher Dashboard, they are recognisable by the 'visiting' banner. You can re-visit libraries from your Teacher Dashboard. To leave a library when you have completed your visit, select leave library from the menu.

How do I get this feature?

If you have a premium license, and are an administrator for the organisation then you will automatically have access to visit a Teacher's library.
