When do I use Setup Mode?

Understand the two options available when completing your classes and sequence planning, so you can choose the right one for where you're at.

This help guide covers:

What is Setup Mode?

Turning on Setup Mode temporarily holds all account activation invitations. This lets you safely add accounts, classes, and sequences without the risk of staff or students accessing the platform before you're ready.

We recommend activating Setup Mode at the beginning of your planning process and disabling it right before your staff training session - so all invitations for students and staff go out at the right time.

How Setup Mode affects activation invites

Setup Mode pauses automatic bulk invites while you prepare your school.

But you can still manually invite individual users from the Teachers or Students pages in Settings – they'll receive the invite email as normal.

This is great if you want to give early access to a few staff before fully launching.
