Add files to the Cubby

Everything reaches the Cubby the same way: you drag it there.

From your planbook

  1. Grab a plan by its drag handle, or a whole day by the handle in its day header.
  2. Start dragging — the Cubby opens automatically on the left.
  3. Drop the item in.
  4. Choose move or copy.

The Cubby appears as soon as the drag starts:

Drop plans here to store for later

The handle is the grip at the top-left of a plan:

The drag handle, top-left of a plan

Copy is the safer habit when you're stockpiling material: the plan stays in your planbook and goes on the shelf. Move takes it out, which is what you want when you're clearing a day.

Naming a day

Dropping a whole day in prompts you for a name. The date is filled in by default, but that's rarely what helps you six weeks later — "Lab: states of matter" or "Sub day — reading" is much easier to pick out of a list.

Single plans aren't named; they're identified by their text.

Attachments and standards come too

A plan carries its attachments and standards into the Cubby, and back out again when you place it. You aren't moving bare text.

From your deleted plans

Recovering a deleted plan puts it into the Cubby rather than straight back into your planbook — so the Cubby is also where recovery lands.

Then organize it

A Cubby with thirty loose items isn't much better than not having one. Sort things into folders as you go — see Cubby folders.
