Copy an available plan into your own context or share it with the intended colleague.
Checked on 28 October 2026
Overview
Copying prepares your own plan; sharing sends an existing plan to a colleague. Check the action and recipient before committing.
Get to know the screen
Practice example: all names, records and amounts are fictional. Options vary with your school’s curriculum, currency and access.
Phone example
Interface labels are shown in English. Follow the translated steps below to find each control. Follow the sequence, review the recorded information and choose the next step.
Who can use this feature
Use your own school account. Teachers need the relevant class and learning-area allocations; reviewers need the school’s authorised review access. A visible menu does not grant permission to change another person’s work.
Before you start
Check school, academic year, term, curriculum and teaching allocation first. Keep the approved curriculum reference and school timetable available.
Open the correct saved plan. Cloning depends on school settings and compatible class/subject allocations.

Troubleshooting
A curriculum choice is missing
Confirm school, year, curriculum and allocation. Select the preceding item and wait for loading; clear the search filter. Ask the administrator to check curriculum support if the list remains empty.
No compatible class is offered for a copy
Check cloning settings and same-level/subject allocations. Ask the administrator to resolve access rather than altering the source curriculum.
The action did not complete
Read the validation message and correct the named field. If a request may have succeeded, check the saved list before retrying. Keep the draft open until its saved version is confirmed.
