Mislisha user manual

Find the thing you want to do. Each page says where it is in the app and how to do it, in the words the app itself uses.

The app has four tabs — Home, Practise, Analyse and Teach — and Settings. On Windows they are down the left side; on a phone, along the bottom. Press F1 on Windows for the keyboard shortcuts.

Start here

If you teach

• Write a tutorial A lesson made into a video: a line played on the board, what you say about it, and what you draw on it.
• Send a tutorial to a student The two ways to hand one over, with a note and a due date — and how to take it back.
• See what a student did Progress, assignments, the review queue, and the report a parent can be sent.
• Run a live session A room with one board and voice: starting it, inviting, and what is kept afterwards.
• Prepare material: your library and positions from a book Your own board without a student, saved positions, and diagrams read out of a chess book in PDF.
