It ensures a structured experience by combining:
* Instructional content (Lesson plans, Worksheets)
* Practice materials (Quizzes)
* Evaluative tools (Structured Tests)
### Navigation: Platform > Courses > Journeys

> 🔴 **Important:** Once access is granted to a user, it **cannot be revoked**. Choose carefully!
***

Your Journey is now created and ready to be assigned to batches or individual students.
***
## **Assigning a Journey to Students or Batches**
Once you’ve created a journey, the next step is to assign it to your students or a batch. This allows them to immediately access the materials, tests, and resources you’ve bundled together.
***
### Where to Assign From?
You can assign journeys from two main areas:
1. **Courses > Journeys tab** – to assign from a specific journey
2. **Operations > Users tab** – to assign based on student names or email directly
***
### Method 1: Assign from the Course Journey Page
#### Step-by-Step
**1. Click “Grant to Student” on the desired Journey card**
This opens the **Grant Journey** popup.
***
**2. Choose Users or Batches**
* You can **search users by name or email**, or
* Select an entire batch (ex: 1-on-1 or group batches)
> 🔴 **IMPORTANT NOTE:**
>
> * A red alert will appear if **free plan slots are exceeded**.
> * So if users you chose are on free plan and you are assigning a paid journey to them, It will automatically convert them free users into paid users.
> * It will also show how many users will be upgraded to a paid account.
> * Once granted, **access cannot be revoked**.
***
**3. Choose the Plan**
You’ll be asked to confirm the plan type if paid seats are being used:
* **PRO**
* **PRO MAX**
Make your choice and click **Done**.
***
### Method 2: Assign from Operations > Users
If you prefer managing individual students:
1. Go to **Operations > Users tab**
2. Click **Assign** next to any user
This opens a dialog to **select a journey from the list**.
> ✅ You’ll also see the user’s current plan (Free/Pro/etc.), email, and existing assigned journeys.
Click **Grant** to assign.
***
Once assigned:
* The student immediately gains access to all included items
* If the user is on a Free Plan and exceeds limits, they will be automatically converted to a **Paid Plan**
***
### **Managing Journeys – Best Practices & Notes**
After creating and assigning a journey, it’s essential to understand how to **manage expectations** and **ensure smooth delivery**. While the system automates most of the work, there are a few important things you, as an educator, should be aware of.
***
## Critical Rules You Must Know
#### 1. **Access Cannot Be Revoked**
> 🔴 Once a journey is assigned to a user, **you cannot undo or remove it**.\
> This means you should **double-check** the user list before granting access.
Use the **"View Users"** button to review who has been selected and how many free seats are being used.
***
#### 2. **Assigning a Journey = Full Access**
Once assigned, students will get immediate access to:
* All resources (e.g., reading material, lesson plans, worksheets)
* Practice tests
* Structured/mock tests
* AI-powered tools (as per plan limit)
No further action is needed. The journey becomes visible in the student’s dashboard.
