Create and remix projects
Rectangle Authoring turns one project idea into a classroom-ready plan and, when you choose, a project other teachers can find and adapt.
Choose a useful starting point
Section titled “Choose a useful starting point”Select Create from Rectangle’s main navigation. From the Create page you can resume recent work, preview an editor-reviewed Craft Pattern, start blank, or begin from another teacher’s published project by choosing Remix on its Find page.
Create’s recent-work shelf is a shortcut, not the complete list. Use Library -> Drafts whenever you need to see every active Authoring project.
You can also use a connected AI assistant to create or revise a draft. AI-assisted work enters the same private Authoring workspace and stays subject to the same teacher-controlled review and publishing steps.
Build one continuous draft
Section titled “Build one continuous draft”Every starting path opens the same five-tab draft:
- Project holds the title, driving question, student brief, subjects, grade band, duration, authentic product, audience, and library summary.
- Milestones sequences the work and holds deliverables and content standards.
- Rubric defines the criteria, observable levels, weights, and practice or habit standards.
- Reading View composes the plan for a teacher or reframes it for students.
- Publish checks quality and controls whether the project is Draft, Ready for class, or Published.
Changes autosave into this single draft. Moving between tabs does not create separate copies.
Keep the lifecycle deliberate
Section titled “Keep the lifecycle deliberate”Draft is private working state. Ready for class means the project is usable with your classes but is not public. Published makes the project eligible for Rectangle’s library and Find experience.
Sharing a draft preview does not publish it. Remixing creates your own private adaptation while preserving the source. A connected AI assistant cannot publish, assign, grade, or make the final classroom decision for you.
