Where to Find the Ideas Board

📌 On the Web: You can access the Ideas Board and view items added from the mobile app by going to the Pathfinder page.

📌 In the App: You’ll find the Ideas Board on the Planner Page under the current date. From there, you can review and manage everything you've saved. You can also add to the ideas board by finding a curriculum in Discover and clicking on it. From there, you can select “Add to Idea Board.”

Why Use the Ideas Board?

🔹 Save Curriculum Ideas for Later – If you find a curriculum or learning resource in Discover but are not ready to add it to your Rhythm, save it to your Ideas Board for future reference.

🔹 Add It to Rhythm – When you are ready to use a saved idea, move it from the Ideas Board into your Rhythm.
