How to manage your profile, logins, and notifications

Your profile settings affect how Classwise is personalized, how you sign in, and which systems are connected to your account.

What this guide helps you do

Keep your personal profile, school context, notifications, login methods, and connected LMS providers aligned with the way you actually teach.

Expected outcome

Your account settings match the current school, login, and integration context so later workflows behave predictably.

Keep the profile page current so Classwise stays aligned with your teaching context and contact details.

Step by step

  1. Open Profile.
  2. Update Personal information first, including your name and profile photo if needed.
  3. Move to School details and update school name, district, job title, and location.
  4. Review Teaching preferences such as subjects, grade levels, assessment types, class size, and primary LMS.
  5. Click Save Changes before you leave the page.

You should see

The profile reflects the right school details and teaching context for later docs, billing, and LMS behaviors.

Keep in mind

  • The page uses an unsaved-changes guard before you leave.
  • Profile photo upload and delete actions happen before the main profile save request.
  • Optional: Default grading instructions can pre-fill Special instructions for AI (Optional) when you create an assessment. See How default grading instructions work.

Optional text in Profile under Default grading instructions is reused when you create assessments: Classwise can pre-fill each assessment's Special instructions for AI (Optional) (on the Answer keys step). AI grading and integrity checks use whatever text is saved on that field for the assessment—so you can define a starting template once, then clear or tailor it per assignment.

Step by step

  1. Open Profile.
  2. In Personal information, find Default grading instructions.
  3. Enter the guidance you want reused across assessments (for example tone, what to prioritize, or policies the grader should follow).
  4. Click Save Changes.
  5. When you create a new assessment, Classwise may pre-fill Special instructions for AI (Optional) from these defaults. You can still edit that field per assessment.

You should see

Your default grading instructions are saved; new assessments can pre-fill Special instructions for AI (Optional) from them, and AI grading and integrity analysis read whatever is stored on each assessment.

Keep in mind

  • When you create a new assessment, Classwise may place your profile defaults into Special instructions for AI (Optional). If you delete that text before you save the assessment, it is not sent to grading or integrity checks—only what remains in that field counts.
  • For assignment-only rules, use Special instructions for AI (Optional) on the assessment—see How to add questions, answer keys, and grading guidance.
  • Leaving Default grading instructions blank means there is no profile prefill; grading uses only what is saved in Special instructions for AI (Optional) on each assessment.

Notes

Common blockers

  • Defaults apply only after you click Save Changes on the profile page.

Use the profile page to review how you sign in and which LMS providers are currently connected to your account.

Step by step

  1. Open Profile and scroll to Connected Logins.
  2. Review the login methods that are currently attached to the account.
  3. Scroll to LMS Integrations and review the provider cards that are currently connected.
  4. Connect or disconnect the provider you want to use.
  5. Let the page refresh the connected data before you leave.

You should see

You know which sign-in methods and LMS providers are attached to the account right now.

Keep in mind

  • Institution-managed teachers can be restricted to the LMS provider their school has approved.
  • Changing an LMS connection invalidates related queries so the rest of the app refreshes.

Common blockers

  • Institution-managed teachers can be restricted to the LMS provider their school has approved.

Notification settings let you control which emails you get without changing the rest of the account.

Step by step

  1. Open Profile.
  2. Scroll to Notification preferences.
  3. Turn the categories you want on or off.
  4. Click Save Changes before you leave the page.

You should see

Only the notifications you actually want remain enabled.

Keep in mind

  • The backend stores these as opt-out fields, so the docs should stick to the user-facing wording only.

The high-impact account actions live in Profile too, but they are conditional and should be used deliberately.

Step by step

  1. Use Change Password only if the account supports email/password authentication.
  2. Enter the new password details and save the change.
  3. Log back in after the password-change flow signs you out.
  4. Open Danger Zone only when you intend to permanently delete the account.
  5. Confirm account deletion, then return to login if you complete it.

You should see

Password or account-deletion actions are handled deliberately and with the right expectations.

Keep in mind

  • Password change is not available to every authentication type.
  • Account deletion clears local session data and redirects back to login.
