Understand the Launch Checklist
Access the Launch Checklist, interpret progress, and align every task with the experience inside the TeachKit app.
The Launch Checklist at /launch is the home base for new educators. It translates the onboarding steps inside the app into a clear sequence with progress tracking.
Open the checklist
- Sign in to TeachKit and you will be redirected to
/launchfrom the main dashboard. - Bookmark the page—each step links directly to the screen where you complete the task.
- If you need to return to the dashboard, use the main navigation and select Launch Checklist at any time.
💡 Tip: The button to the right of the title shows your completion percentage. Click it to expand the list or jump straight into the next incomplete item.
Track your progress
- The completion bar reads directly from your profile, class builder, and dashboard settings. When you finish a task in-app, the checklist updates automatically.
- Prefer to track items manually? Toggle the Mark complete switch on any card. This is helpful when you finish a step outside TeachKit, such as creating assets in another tool.
- Hover over the completion badge on each card to see whether the status came from TeachKit (Auto) or from your manual toggle.
