Not everyone immediately has access to Typing Agent’s newest version - Version 6. We describe how to assign this new experience to administrators, teachers, and/or students with a one-time push so everyone uses the same version.
Before You Begin
You must be signed in with an administrator account that has permission to manage school or district settings.
Changes made in the Login Experience section may apply district-wide, depending on your account and organization setup.
Step 1: Open District Settings
Sign in to Typing Agent as an administrator.
Select Settings from the left navigation menu.
In the Settings panel, select School Portal.
Step 2: Find the Login Experience Settings
Scroll to the Login Experience section.
This section controls where users land after signing in, including users who enter through an older Legacy/Classic login link.
Step 3: Enable Version 6 for Students
Locate Enable V6 for students.
Turn the switch on. (The switch will turn from gray to blue when it's on.)
When this setting is enabled, students will enter the Version 6 student experience after signing in. When it is turned off, students will continue to enter the Legacy/Classic experience.
Important: The page indicates that this is a district-wide setting. Enabling it will affect students at every school in the district.
Step 4: Enable Version 6 for Staff
Locate Enable V6 for staff.
Turn the switch on.
When enabled, teachers, school administrators, and staff accounts can use the Version 6 staff experience.
Step 5: Choose the Default Staff Experience
Under Default staff experience:
Open the dropdown menu.
Select V6.
This makes Version 6 the default destination for staff after they sign in. Selecting Legacy/Classic keeps the Legacy/Classic interface as the default.
Step 6: Confirm the Settings
Before leaving the page, confirm that:
Enable V6 for students is turned on.
Enable V6 for staff is turned on.
Default staff experience is set to V6.
What Users Will Experience
After the settings are enabled:
Students will land in the Version 6 student experience after signing in.
Teachers and other staff will have access to Staff V6.
Staff will enter Version 6 by default when V6 is selected as the default staff experience.
Older login links can still direct users to the selected Version 6 experience.
Want to return to the Legacy/Classic Version?
That's not a problem. Return to Settings and turn off all settings.
Administrators may always toggle between the Legacy/Classic Version and V6 should they want to see reports or legacy items. Click your name at the bottom left, then select the Switch to Legacy View option. Should you want to return to V6, use that button to toggle back.
Troubleshooting
Students still see Legacy/Classic
Confirm that Enable V6 for students is on. Ask the student to sign out completely, close the browser tab, and sign in again.
Staff still see Legacy/Classic
Confirm that Enable V6 for staff is on and that Default staff experience is set to V6.
A setting cannot be changed
The option is controlled at the administrator level. Only the main administrator has access to all areas. That person delineates who has permission to modify school- or district-wide settings. Contact your administrator or Typing Agent Support for assistance.
Changes do not appear immediately
Have the user sign out and sign back in. (Refreshing an existing session may not apply the new login destination immediately.)
