How to edit a room

This guide will explain how to edit a room.

There may be times when you would like to change the desk layout of your room. Rooms can be edited by School admins, or by teachers if the Allow teachers to create and edit rooms setting has been enabled.

Please bear in mind that any changes that you make to a room also apply to other teachers’ classes that use the same room.

There are three different methods of editing a room in Class Charts:
