Accessing your admin account

Create your account through the invite sent to you. Use the school email you received the invite through. If you don’t see an invite, please email [email protected] for assistance.

admin dashboard onboarding


Adding schools into your district

  1. To begin adding schools into your district, click the green "Add my Schools" button.

    admin dashboard onboarding

  2. Fill in the appropriate information about the district and its respective schools (state, zip code, etc). It is very important that you consider adding every school in your district; students will be picking their school from these choices, and it would be best to have their school listed in the options.

  3. To add more than 3 schools into the district, click the plus button next to "Add School" at the bottom of the screen.

  4. Click "save" at the bottom right of the screen once finished.


Student sharing

Next, choose if you want to enable sharing for your students (it is off by default). Sharing is the ability for the students to make their flashcard sets and notes public - enable this feature and students can send links to their friends to share their notes. Enabling sharing is still privacy compliant, as it hides the student if they send a link. Follow the steps below to begin!

  1. If you would like to enable sharing, select the "allow sharing" option.

  2. If you do not want to enable sharing, select the "no sharing" option.

  3. If you want to permit sharing only inside of the organization, which allows for students within the org to send links to each other based on their school (still privacy compliant), you must be on a Knowt plan already. This setting can be accessed in the admin dashboard settings after completing the onboarding process!

  4. Click next at the bottom right of the screen to continue.


Student purchasing

Next, choose if you want to enable purchasing for your students (it is off by default). Purchasing allows students to purchase plans on Knowt - if enabled, they will be able to buy a plan. Follow the steps below to begin!

  1. If you do not want to enable purchasing, select the "no purchasing" option.

    admin dashboard onboarding

  2. If you would like to enable purchasing, select the "allow purchasing" option.

  3. If you want to permit purchasing based on each school, select the "choose per school" option.

  4. Click next at the bottom right of the screen to continue.


Licensing and quotes

Lastly, explore Knowt’s plans and get a quote to see our prices!

  1. If you want a quote to learn about the plans and pricing, select the "I want to get a quote" option.

    admin dashboard onboarding

  2. If you do not want a quote, select the "Don’t want a quote" option.

  3. Click next on the bottom right of the screen.

  4. If you selected the "I want to get a quote" option, you will be prompted to input the amount of teacher/student licenses you will need. The plan prices will vary depending on the number of licenses (more licenses will save you more on the plans)!

  5. Click the "pick this plan" button for your desired choice.

  6. Next, you will be asked to select any additional integrations with an LMS or SSO, which you can click on to add. Keep in mind that there is an extra cost for these integrations, which will be displayed on your quote as well.

  7. Click next at the bottom right of the screen. Your quote will be sent within 24 hours!
