Each Stile Subject can contain multiple Classes, or groups of students.
Students are enrolled in Classes, which are managed within Subjects. Classes are managed on the Students page of your Subject. If you teach the same content matter to more than one group of students, then you can organise them into multiple Classes. When a new Subject is created a single Class initially named "Students" will be created by default.
- Each Class has its own, unique class code;
- A student can only be enrolled in one Class per Subject, and can be moved between classes;
- Classes can be renamed, and students cannot see the names of the Classes.

Make a new Class
On the Students page Click on Add class to create a new Class. When you create a new Class, the default will be automatically renamed to "Class A" unless it has been manually renamed, and the new Class will be called "Class B."
Rename a Class
On the Students page, click on the Class to be renamed followed by Rename Class. Type the new name of the class and click Done to save and update the name.
Archive a Class
When you archive a Class, the students within that Class will be removed from your Markbook and they will no longer see it on their homepage. They can access the work by clicking on old notifications. All of their work is preserved, and it can be restored by a teacher at any time by unarchiving the Class. The best time to archive your Class (or Classes) is at the end of the term or year when you have completed the course and you are getting ready for a fresh cohort. Learn more about the Archive and what it means for you and your students here.
Before you continue: Your students' work is directly linked to the Lessons within your Subject. If you make any edits to the Lessons or delete Lessons after archiving your Class, then you risk altering the way the student work is displayed upon unarchiving. Consider archiving the whole Subject and then duplicating it if you plan to make big changes to any of the Lessons.
On the Students page, select the Class to be archived from the left column and then click Archive class from the top of the page. This will move the Class to a new Archived section below the Class list in the left column. If you archive all Classes in the Subject, then a new, empty Class will be created automatically.
Unarchive a Class
Find the Class you want to restore in the Archived list, below your active Classes in the left column of the page. If you don't see any Classes listed below the word Archived, then click the word and the menu will appear.
Select the Class you want to unarchive by clicking on it, and then click Unarchive class in the top right corner of the page. The Class will move from the Archived list to the Classes list. The students will reappear in your Markbook and you will once again be able to release and hide Lessons to that Class.
Delete a Class
You can only delete a Class if it has no students. Archive the Class or move the students if you need to preserve student work.
Select the Class you want to delete. Click the Delete class button located above the Class code.
