How to edit a detention

This guide will explain how to edit a detention.

Once a detention has been issued for a pupil, it may be necessary to make changes to the scheduled time, location and date.

To edit the details of a detention, click on the three lines menu in the top right hand corner of the page and select Detentions from the list of available options.

If a field has been edited it will flash green to indicate that your changes have been saved.
