IssieDocs: New school year, new tools!

 

Hi all! Just in time for the start of the school year, we are releasing a big IssieDocs update with new tools and improved functionality.

If you are new to IssieDocs, welcome! You are in for a treat!

IssieDocs is a worksheet editor and digital binder with customizable settings based on inclusive design principles to allow for easy use by students of varying abilities. Download on iOS here.

Watch here for a quick intro to the app and its features:

For those of you, who have been using IssieDocs for a while, we are so glad to have you in our community! With this update, you will see the same familiar interface but with new features:

• A highlighter tool
• A ruler that allows for drawing straight lines
• A tool to add tables to worksheets
• Improved organization of folders – create a folder within a folder

As usual, customization has been built into all features to meet individual needs.

Here are some additional videos explaining some of the features more in-depth:

In this latest version, we have also improved the backup process. If your app gets erased or you get a new iPad, you can restore your files easily, from a backup. For this to work, you need to have saved a backup previously, so this is a good reminder to do so every once in a while.

To back up your IssieDocs files, simply choose “Backup App” in IssieDocs settings.

To restore from a backup: 1) go the the backup file wherever it was saved, long press on it, and choose “Share” 2) Share to IssieDocs, and all your files will return to the app exactly as they were organized before.

If you need a refresher on some of the other tools in IssieDocs you can refer to our previous posts: Introducing IssieDocs.

A big thank you to all our users who have written to us with suggestions, your interest and experience are helping us to create exactly the app that our community needs.

Thank you to our friends at SAP Labs, Israel for volunteering their precious time and developing IssieDocs for us!
