Work through what needs you in Guide
Open Guide when you want to work across classes instead of checking one assignment at a time.
Start with First up
Section titled “Start with First up”- Select Guide in the main navigation.
- Read the arrival summary on the right. It names the projects and activity that actually reached you.
- In First up, confirm the person, project, milestone, version when present, and time.
- Select Open to begin with the oldest unhandled item.
- Review the work, answer the question, or decide what to do with the quiet-work signal.
First up is a neutral starting point. It is not a risk score or a recommendation about which student matters most.
Start somewhere else
Section titled “Start somewhere else”The map is always another way in. Choose any row in New work, Quick questions, Gone quiet · your call, or Your projects when another item is the better use of your attention.
Selecting a row changes the focused stage; it does not approve, answer, dismiss, or send anything. The quick-reply affordance on a question is the one map-level action that opens an editor in place.
Continue after an action
Section titled “Continue after an action”After a successful approve, revision request, answer, or check-in, Guide removes or updates the handled item and prepares the next one. In the normal pace, you see a short next-item pause. Select the next hint or use Right Arrow or N to continue.
Quick Mode removes that pause and advances directly. It changes the pacing around the decision, never the decision itself.
Your position is not a permanent queue state. You can return to the map, choose another lane, or leave Guide at any time.
