Organize with units

What are units?

Units are folders for your lessons — think of them as chapters, topics, or modules. They live in the middle panel of the Lessons page and help you group related lessons together.

Each unit card shows the number of lessons inside it and its completion progress.

Create a unit

Select a class from the left panel on the Lessons page.
Click + next to the Units header.
Give it a name (e.g., "Unit 3 — Ecosystems").

The unit is created for the selected class and is ready to hold lessons. Create a lesson → to get started.

Add lessons to a unit

When you create a new lesson, it's automatically placed in the unit you have selected. You can also move existing lessons between units:

Drag and drop — drag a lesson card from one unit to another on the Lessons page.
From the lesson editor — open a lesson, go to the Details tab in the right panel, and change the unit there.

The "No Unit" default

Lessons that aren't assigned to a unit appear under No Unit. This is a default category that can't be removed or renamed. To organize a lesson, just drag it into a unit or change the unit from the editor.

Units across multiple classes

A unit can be shared across multiple classes. If you teach across sections, the lessons inside shared units are linked — not duplicated. Edits to a shared lesson apply across all classes.

This is powerful for teachers with multiple sections of the same course. Build your units once and reuse them. Once your units have lessons, schedule them on the planner to fill in your calendar. Pair your unit organization with standards tracking to see which learning goals each unit covers.
