Make layout more visually friendly
The layout makes the screen look crowded. I think it would help if you changed the default font and made the classes a larger type than the content. As it looks right now, lunch and recess look like classes. It would be great if those periods blended in with the background more.
2 votesPlanbook v12 offers a new User Interface that is more modern, intuitive, customizable and FAST! You can adjust your display with new options, including custom fonts, dark mode, reduced brightness of past days, school day/week counters (up and down), view by cycle, and a reminders panel.
To change your display settings, click "User Settings" > "Display Settings".

Edit class time for replica lesson
I'd like to be able to edit the class time of a replica class right from clicking on the Plans.
Currently I have to go into Classes and change the replica to View/Edit, then go back and change the meeting time, then go back to Classes and change that class back over to a replica. I still want all of the lesson/homework to be a replica, while simply changing the meeting time.

Various sharing options with coworkers
I would like the ability to share particular classes with coworkers and other classes with other teachers. For example, have my co-teacher able to view all my classes, but other grade level teachers only able to view certain subjects.

print today
Create a box to print today only. No more selecting from the to/from calendars! I tweak my lessons everyday and so prefer to print 1 day at a time. A check box for "print today only" would make life a bit easier!
8 votesYou can now print a single day of lesson plans in only two clicks!
To print your plans for a day, click the "Action" icon in the day header, and then click "Send To".

Add search for My List
My "My List" is getting pretty long (I use it for district-provided objectives). It is unwieldy to scroll through the whole list looking for specific objectives. It would be much easier if there was a search field so that you could enter keywords from the objective or the ID and have it filter down so there are fewer visible, making it easier to find the item you're looking for.

Print single lesson
I would like to be able to print individual lessons quickly by having a print option added to the lesson's drop-down menu (with other options such as edit, copy, bump, etc.). This option would be particularly useful for non-classroom teachers but would probably be helpful for any teacher, and would be much faster than having to go through all of the print options necessary to print individual class lessons.
11 votesYou can now print a single lesson via the Lesson Action menu. We hope that helps! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us at support@planbook.com. Thanks!

School wide Grading Periods and Letter Grades
Allow for the administrator to be able to make changes that impact all teachers without having to go into each teacher's account. The school has a grading scale and it would be less time consuming if the administrator could create grading scales and other things that apply to the school as a whole without having to go into each account.
4 votesGood news, administrators can now set up school years, grading periods, and letter grades for all teachers at their school! To learn more, visit our knowledge base at https://planbook.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1946905-school-years-administrator

Allow units to be assigned to multiple classes
When I design a unit, I can only attach it to one class. I teach elementary specials, and I apply the same unit to multiple hours and days of the week. For example, I have five different first grade classes. They won't stay on the same exact schedule of lessons throughout the year. Eventually, they'll have the same units. Instead of rewriting that unit, I would like to apply to multiple classes.
758 votesTo assign a single unit to multiple classes, we recommend that you create a Unit Lesson Bank, and then LINK the new unit to your classes. You can link the new unit to as many classes as you’d like, and any changes you make to the lessons in the unit bank will automatically show in all classes with the link!
You can view our Knowledge Base (https://planbook.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/1947406-copying-linking-units-in-your-account) or our Video Tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNValfrajJE) to learn more.

Allow teachers to decorate plans
I think it would be awesome if we could decorate our own planners- ex. Erin Condren style. Like a fancy electronic planner! Maybe electronic stickers we can add for parties/staff meetings/ dentist appointments/ holidays/ trainings/ themes. Teachers LOVE to decorate planners! I have a personal planner but I love my plan book! Also if you could include and easy lesson plan template that looks well designed that would be awesome as well (incuding assessment goals).
125 votesFor teachers who enjoy visuals in their plans, you can now add stickers! Stickers allow you to showcase student birthdays, school events, holidays and reminders.
To add a sticker to your plans, click the "Action" icon on the day you would like your sticker, and select "Add Sticker".

Unit Templates
Add more detailed templates. For example, all of my units work the same. It's a 30 day run. My basics (Bellwork, Lesson, Homework, Materials, etc.) are all the same. The only difference are the individual page numbers, story titles, and Unit Titles. It is also the same for multiple classes. My 9th and 10th grade follow the same format. My 11th and 12th grade follow the same format. I'd love to be able to apply each day (30 templates) one time and have it fit for all my units. I can't even use the templates right now because I can't…

Allow collaboration on units
The sharing and collaboration of unit plans would make this product more effective for the Secondary level. My team would like to be able to share and edit unit plans for more effective collaboration.
33 votesGood news! We now support school lesson banks! This allows teachers to create and share banks/units for a grade/school/district. Permissions can be set to control who is able to view and edit the lessons. Hope that helps, any questions just let us know!
