This guide is designed to help you close out your Stile Subjects from 2025 and get ready for the year ahead. If you are brand new to Stile or need a refresher after the summer break, check out our Getting Started article and the new self paced training modules in the Professional Learning Hub.

Follow the steps below to ensure you have the best start to the new year:

Students can still access old work and see answers to tests, but only if it's released to them! You may want them to keep access to some activities, such as unit glossaries or large projects. Hide anything you don't want your students to see anymore.

We recommend archiving your Subjects whether you plan to reuse the Sessions or start fresh. Archiving a Subject will remove it from your students' homepages, while preserving their historic work without allowing anyone to make any changes.

Note: Subjects with co-teachers can only be archived by your school's Stile admin. If you need to leave a shared Subject:

Stile content is regularly updated, with the latest versions always being available in the Stile Library. If you have heavily customised Sessions from the Stile library in 2025, you can duplicate your subject to get a fresh copy without any of the original student work to use in 2026. If not, we recommend creating new Subjects and heading to the Stile library to check out the latest versions for 2026.

See how to duplicate a Subject here.

Create new Subjects from your side menu if you didn't duplicate your Subjects from 2025. If you plan to teach the same Sessions to more than one group of students (e.g. 7D and 7G), you can create one Subject for the whole cohort and organise them into separate Classes via the Students page.

This tutorial shows how to create new Subjects, and this one will guide you through managing multiple Classes.

Add units from the Stile Science library or the school library and organise them in the way that best suits you.

Make sure to hide any Sessions you don't want your students to see when they first enrol. Most Sessions from the Stile library will be available by default. You may only want to have an Intro or Pre-test released, or none at all. Use the Hide All button to hide the whole Folder.

Give your students time to remember their passwords or create new accounts on the first day. You can avoid this time by setting your school up with Single Sign-on (SSO). SSO allows you and your students to log in with the same passwords you use for school services. It's one less password for everyone to remember.
​Learn more about Single Sign-on here and how to get it set up for your school.

You can refresh your memory on how to enrol students here, and also how to set temporary passwords for students.
