Release and hide Sessions

Manage which activities your students can access.

Updated this week

You control which Sessions students can see at any time. Release and hide controls are located in the Available to column to the right of each Session title on the Sessions page. Changes take effect instantly and do not need to be saved.

By default, all Stile Science Sessions are released to all students except assessments (check-ins and tests), which are hidden. Use these controls to prevent students from jumping ahead, or to create a closed-book exam by hiding all Sessions in a unit before releasing the test.

Hide or release all Sessions in a unit folder

Each Folder has a Release all menu and a Hide all button at the top.

Release all has two options:

  • Release all non-assessed Sessions β€” releases everything in the Folder except assessments

  • Release all Sessions β€” releases everything including assessments

Hide all hides every Session in the Folder instantly. When all Sessions in a Folder are hidden, the Folder itself is not visible to students.

Hide or release a single Session

Click the controls in the Available to column next to the Session you want to manage. A menu will appear with a search bar and a list of tick boxes.

  • Tick All students to release the Session to everyone in the Subject

  • Tick a Class name to release it to all students in that Class

  • Click on a Class name to expand the student list, then tick individual student names to release to specific students only

  • Use the search bar to find a specific student quickly

Unticking a box hides the Session from that student, Class, or all students. Anyone without a ticked box cannot see the Session.

Hide or release multiple Sessions

To the left of each Session title is a tick box. Ticking these boxes selects Sessions for bulk control. Ticking them does not release the Sessions on its own.

  1. Tick the boxes to the left of the Sessions you want to control. To select all Sessions in a Folder, tick the box next to the word "Session" at the top of the column.

  2. Click the Release to menu that appears at the top of the list

  3. Select the Classes or students you want to release to. This menu works the same way as the individual Session menu above.

To clear your selection, click the tick box at the top of the list again.
