    Important: If you’re new to Kognity and don’t yet have any classes set up, you will only be able to create a preview class. To unlock the ability to create additional classes, please contact your school admin or reach out to us to set up your first class. When contacting us (or your school admin), make sure to provide the textbook name, class name, and archive date for your new class. Once your first class is set up, the "Create or Join Class" button will be fully enabled, allowing you to create more classes.
