Manage Identities

Manage Identities

To see a list of your identities, view or edit your identity profile, or create a new identity, visit the Manage Identities page. The Manage Identities page can be accessed by hovering over the Identity Menu in the top middle of the screen and choosing “Manage Identities.” The Identity Menu icon is the avatar of your most recently used identity.

Tip: The identity menu defaults to the identity you edited most recently. If you want to set a “default” identity, simply make a small edit to that identity’s profile (subject to teacher approval, of course).

From the Manage Identities screen, the user can:
  1. “+Create Identity”: Clicking this button will launch the user into the identity creation process. See “Creating an Identity” for more information.
  2. View Identity Profile Pages: To view the identity profile page for one of your identities, click the identity avatar or the “view” (eye) icon beneath the identity in question.
  3. Edit an Identity: To edit an identity, click the “edit” (pencil/paper) icon beneath the identity in question.
  4. Delete an Identity: To delete an identity, click the “delete” (trashcan) icon beneath the identity in question. You will be asked to double confirm the deletion of the identity.
