Where do I start?
You'll want to add some Units to your 'My Units' list. Do this either by Finding and adding some existing units, or create your own.
The existing units can be either
Edekit Units which are complete and ready to use as they are, they have been pre-filled with content, resources, and assessments
Edekit Template Units which have been pre-filled with some basic details
Members Units which have been Shared by other members of Edekit in any subscription
You can generate a Scope & Sequence by going to the Scope & Sequence tab. Select the units you want to use, or you can create units from within here by selecting Misc Units -> Create a New Unit. This is useful if you want to do a Scope and Sequence but haven't yet set up all your units.
