Subjects

Subjects are the foundation of your study plan. Every study block, assignment, practice session, test, and grade belongs to a subject, so adding your subjects is the first thing to do after you create your account.

Who can use this page: the Subjects page is for students. Only you can add, rename, archive, or delete your own subjects.

To open it, select Subjects (📚) in the sidebar. On a phone, tap Sub in the bottom bar. The page is called My Subjects.

Adding a subject

  1. Open Subjects.
  2. Select New Subject. If you don't have any subjects yet, select Create your first subject instead.
  3. Type a name, for example Mathematics. Names can be up to 100 characters.
  4. Select Save.

Your new subject is available straight away when you create study blocks, assignments, practice sessions, and tests.

Each subject name must be unique among your own subjects. You can't have two subjects called "Mathematics", but it doesn't matter what other students call theirs.

Tip: Use the names your school uses (for example French, Biology, History). That makes your grades and analytics easier to read later.

Renaming a subject

  1. Select Rename on the subject's card.
  2. Type the new name.
  3. Select Save.

Only the name changes. Everything linked to the subject stays linked.

Reading a subject card

Each card shows the subject's name and how many items belong to it. The count includes study blocks, assignments, practice sessions, and tests and exams.

Archiving and restoring a subject

Archive a subject you're no longer studying, for example at the end of the school year.

When you archive a subject:

  • It no longer appears in the subject dropdowns when you create study blocks, assignments, practice sessions, or tests.
  • Nothing is deleted. Its study blocks, assignments, practice sessions, tests, grades, and awards stay exactly as they were.

To archive a subject, select Archive on its card. It moves to the Archived section at the bottom of the page.

To restore a subject, select Archived at the bottom of the page to open the list, then select Restore on the subject. It shows up in the dropdowns again straight away.

Deleting a subject

You can delete a subject only when nothing is linked to it: no study blocks, assignments, practice sessions, tests or exams, grades, or awards. This protects your study history from being deleted by accident.

  1. Select Delete on the subject's card.
  2. If nothing is linked to the subject, select Yes, delete to confirm. This can't be undone.
  3. If the subject still has linked items, you'll see "Can't delete — this subject has linked items." Select Archive to archive it instead.

Frequently asked questions

A subject is missing from the dropdown when I create a study block. Why? It's probably archived. Open Subjects, open the Archived section, and select Restore.

I get "You already have a subject with this name", but I can't see that subject. Archived subjects count too. Check the Archived section. You can restore the old subject instead of creating a new one.

Can I delete a subject I added by mistake? Yes, as long as you haven't linked anything to it yet. If you have, delete those items first, or archive the subject instead.
