Shrink to one page print
I like to have my plans fit all on one page. I would really like to have a way to have a button I can press where it would condense my plans to fit nicely onto one page. This would be very helpful to me as I try to be cautious about my paper use.

Add an undo button that gives you a drop down of several things that you have done recently. Be sure to include imports, no class days, deletions, etc.

Export to Google Calendar
It would be great to export Planbook to Google Calendar so that students have one less web site to go to and have access to their homework as well as their personnal agenda and goals.

Add "I can" drop down
We now have to add "I can" statements to our lesson plans. Having a drop-down menu with all these things would be a huge time-saver. T hanks!

Multiple schedules in a school year
For instance, my morning classes are on a 4-day cycle, and my afternoon classes are on a 3-day cycle. Please change this so we can split the day into multiple cycles.

View all lessons while editing one
If we could see the week while typing in a lesson so we can compare lessons while inputting the information for the next lesson; instead of the overlay design. Although I do like the expanded screen for typing in long lesson plans, it would be helpful.

Copy - Select multiple days or weeks
My weeks don't change much throughout the year. I teach a unit for 6 weeks, but throughout those weeks a lot of the same information is present in my plans. If I could copy an entire week and then go through and edit the changes for the week I wouldn't have to recreate every lesson every week. This would be much the same as I would do with Word; just open up the old document, make changes, then Save As a new date.

Long range plans
Long range plans overview for the year for each subject area in a week/month view aside from the actual lesson plans -- to view the general overall plans for the year at a glance -- like a pacing guide for all subject areas...

Display classes by time with gaps
When I view or print my schedule for the week, without lesson details, I would LOVE to have it display in relationship to TIME, not all bunched together at the top of the page. This would help my colleagues visualize empty periods in my schedule (I'm a librarian)! When one class is 90 minutes and takes up the same amount space as a 30 minute class, or I have a break of 25 minutes, it is hard to read that across a week.

Folders for attachments
It would be nice to organize your files into folder so you do not have to scroll so far looking for items

Show multi day lesson once
When I extend a Lesson It would be great if, visually, it just took up a block rather than repeats everything each day. I am working through a lesson that is intended for three or four days and I'm adjusting it as I go. I just deleted the extended days because I don't want to adjust the lesson three or four times!

Merge Lessons
Merge Lesson's. If I do lesson 1 and have extra time and decide to do lesson 2 as well on the same day I want to be able to move subsequent lessons back without losing any lesson information. Putting lesson 3 on the day where lesson 2 was.

Integrate with Canvas
If possible, integrate Planbook with the Canvas learning management system by Instructure. Canvas has a calendar which will indicate what activities/assignments/quizzes are due on any particular day, but by no means does it offer the features, details, and flexibility of Planbook (for example, the ability to extend, bump, or pull back lessons). Planbook and Canvas are both excellent tools for educators, and it would be wonderful if such a merger could happen.

Allow smaller box for non-teaching blocks
Elementary teachers like to show time slots such as recess, specials, lunch, and other repeatable items that usually don't require lesson plans or standards. It would be nice to standardize the box sizes separately from classes. Or, they could be a set size. They do not need a lot or room.

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).

Print Unit with option to include all detail
It appears it is no longer possible to print out unit plans. An option that would print a unit plan containing all lessons from a particular unit would be very helpful for long range planning and reporting.

Schedule by Periods
I am at jr high, on a block schedule, so I use the a day/b day structure for my classes. However, the time of each period is different on Monday because it is an early release day
I would like to be able to globally change the Monday class times, whether it is an A day or a B day.

Back-up data to local drive
It would be nice to be able to back-up the data on a local drive. If access to the internet is disrupted during a school day it would be very frustrating and disruptive if you are unable to get to your lesson plans. Also, if you make a major mistake, like erasing a whole class, then you could go back and retrieve the last saved data.
