Limitations and Clarifications
- For initial rollout, the tool is limited to selecting 20 lessons at a time for bulk actions. This does not pertain to the curated folders within our lesson library.
- This tool does not allow for hiding premium content. These items will not have checkboxes upon hover.
- If a lesson from the Nearpod library was added to the school library, and then subsequently hidden, it will be removed from the Nearpod library and associated school library.
- If a lesson is hidden from a school library it will not be hidden from the district library given the hierarchy of how we handle district and school changes. An item hidden from the district library will hide at all associated schools, but a change at the school level does not roll up to the district or the other schools within the district.
- If a teacher follows a direct link to a hidden lessons, teachers will see a page that states that “This lesson no longer exists,” and is encouraged to search the Nearpod Library.
