# Editing a Prep

Preps are specific to the classes you teach and are often linked to a course and roster section. If you teach multiple classes, you create a separate prep for each class. You can then add plans to your preps, tailoring lessons, activities, and resources to meet the needs of each class.

After you [create a prep](/v1/docs/adding-a-prep-to-your-planner), you can edit it from your [planner](/v1/docs/planner).

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:**You cannot edit planners from past years. Once the end date of an instructional calendar has passed, the calendar is locked, and you can no longer make changes to preps, plans, or units for that year. If you want to reuse an older plan, you can [copy plans from a past year](/v1/docs/copying-a-prior-year-plan) to an active planner then make adjustments to the plan as needed.

## Quick Guide

1. Select **My Planners** from the main menu.
2. Open the prep that you want to edit.
3. Select the **Edit** icon ( create ).
4. (Optional) Select the **Edit** icon ( edit ) to change the image used in the prep tile and header.
5. (Optional) In the **Prep Name** field, edit the name of the prep.
6. (Optional) From the **Link a Course** drop-down, select a course to link to the prep.

**Step 4:** (Optional) Select the **Edit** icon ( edit ) to change the image used in the prep tile and header.

**Step 5:**(Optional) In the **Prep Name** field, edit the name of the prep. This usually corresponds to the name of the class you teach. For example, you might create a prep called “Math, Grade 4” or “Chemistry, 3rd Period”.

**Step 6:** (Optional) From the **Link a Course**drop-down, select a course to link to the prep. Linking a prep to a course allows you to easily connect standards or curriculum components from the course to the prep. Connecting a prep to a course also allows district leaders to view plans in the prep when conducting an analysis.

**Step 7:**(Optional) From the **Roster Sections** drop-down, select a [roster section](/v1/docs/roster-settings) to link students to the prep.

**Step 8:**(Optional) From the **Plan Templates** drop-down, select one or more templates to provide a basis for creating your prep, if the appropriate template is available.

The selected template(s) appear in the planning area for your prep along with the Blank Plan and More Templates… options. When you select a template, the plan populates with the template’s content blocks, allowing you to create plans more quickly and with less manual work.

**Step 9:**Select **Save**.
