How does the View as student feature work?
When you are viewing a student's account using the View as student feature, you are seeing a preview of the student's account with a Viewing as a student banner at the top of the page.
While viewing a student's account using the View as student feature, you can see the activities that the student is currently assigned, but has not yet completed, in the To-do activities tab and the activities the student has completed in the Completed activities tab.
Tip💡
You will not be able to make any changes to a student's activities or account while using the View as student feature. If you click on a Resume, Start, or Replay button for an activity while using the View as student feature to preview a student's account, you will not be able to make any changes to the activity. Instead, you will see the message below, which allows you to only preview the activity.
To exit the preview of a student's account and return to your own Quill account, click the green Exit student account button at the top of the page.
