Import: if even one row is wrong, nothing is saved
> **Remember:** nothing is saved until you press **Give homework**. If you press **Cancel** midway, the app asks whether to throw away what you wrote.

## How to tell the homework was given
Homework is saved only when you are online; it cannot be kept on the device and sent later. So the **Saved on this device** state does not exist here.
| State | How to tell | What next |
| ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------- |
| **Changed on screen only** | The **Create homework** page is open and the fields are filled in | Press **Give homework** |
| **Reached the school's system** | The homework's own page has opened, with your title as its heading | Done |
**To double-check:** go back to the **Homework** list. The new homework is at the top. If you pick the section in the **Section** filter, it shows there too.
**If no page opens:** see [Problems and fixes](#trouble). What you typed is still in the fields.

## Other situations
### Give homework to one student
For example, someone fell behind because they were ill and needs separate work.
1. In **2. Who and when**, pick **Student** in **Assign to**.
2. Pick the **Section** first, then the **Student**.
→ The **Student** list shows only students of that section. If you skip it, you see **Pick a student.**
3. Check the dates and press **Give homework**.
→ Only that student gets the homework.
### Give the same homework to more sections
To give the same homework to another section of the same class, or to another student, you do not need to write it again.
1. In the list, press **View** on the homework's row.
2. At the top of the homework's page, press **Assign to section or student**.
→ A form opens with the same fields, and the homework's title and class at the top. You cannot change the class or subject; you can only pick another section or student of the same class.
3. Fill in **Assign to**, **Section** (or **Student**), **Assigned date** and **Due date**.
4. Press **Assign**.
→ The form closes and you see **Assigned. Due {date}.**
| You press | What happens | Saved? |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ------ |
| **Assign** | The homework is given to the new section or student | Yes |
| **Cancel** | The form closes, nothing changes | No |
### Import homework from an Excel or CSV file
To give many homework to many sections at once, such as a whole week's, import them from one file. Each row of the file is one homework, given to one section.
**1. Download the template**
1. Above the **Homework** list, press **Import homework**.
→ The **Import homework** page opens, in three parts: **1. Download the template**, **2. Upload your file**, **3. Result**.
2. Press **Download template**.
→ A file named `homework-import-template.csv` downloads. The first row has the column headers and the second row has an example.
**2. Fill in the file**
3. Open the file in Excel or Google Sheets. Do not change the first-row headers, and delete the example row.
4. Write one homework per row. What goes in each column is also shown in the page's **Column reference**.
| Column header | What to write | Required? |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- |
| `class` | The name of a class of the current academic year, as written in the app, for example `Class 5` | Yes |
| `section` | A section of that class, for example `A` | Yes |
| `subject` | The name of one of the school's subjects, for example `Mathematics` | Yes |
| `assigned_date` | The date given, in year-month-day order, for example `2026-10-01` | Yes |
| `due_date` | The due date, in the same order, for example `2026-10-05`; it cannot be before the date given | Yes |
| `description` | A short note about the task, for example `Exercise 3.2`; may be left empty | No |
The file has no column for the title or the grading mode. For every imported homework the app makes the title itself from the subject and the assigned date, for example **Mathematics — 2026-10-01**, and the grading mode is **Tick (done / not done)**.
5. Save the file as CSV or XLSX. The file must not be over 5 MB, and may have at most 2000 rows besides the header row.
**3. Upload and look at the problems**
6. In **2. Upload your file**, press **Choose file** and pick the file.
→ You see **File received. Checking it now.** The app checks every row: whether the class and section exist in the current year, whether the subject exists, whether the dates are right, and, if you are a teacher, whether you have a duty for that section and subject.
7. Look at the result.
→ If everything is fine, the **Preview** part shows a **No problems** mark, a line such as **12 homework will be created.**, and the first 20 rows (**Class · Section · Subject**, **Assigned date**, **Due date**).
→ If any row has a problem, a **Rows with problems** table appears: **Row** (which row of the file), **Column**, **Value in your file**, **Problem**, **Type**. The import button below stays disabled.
**4. Fix the problem rows**
8. Press **Download problem rows (CSV)** to download the list of problems; it helps to keep it beside you.
9. Fix those rows in your own file. Common causes:
* The class or section name does not match the name in the app, or the class is not of the current academic year.
* Two classes have the same name and the same section, so the app could not tell which you meant (for example `Class 6` / `A` in two shifts). It works once an admin gives one of them a different name.
* The subject name does not match, or there are two subjects with the same name.
* The due date is before the assigned date, or a date is not in year-month-day order.
* If you are a teacher: you have no duty for that section and subject.
10. Press **Import another file**, and upload the whole corrected file again.
> **Remember:** if even one row has a problem, no homework is imported. Upload the whole file again, not just the wrong rows; the good rows from before will not be created twice, because nothing was saved the first time.
**5. Confirm the import**
11. If there are no problems, press **Import {number} homework** at the bottom. After the check, a time shows beside it, such as **Save within 29:40 or upload again**; after 30 minutes you must upload again.
→ In the **3. Result** part you see a **Done** mark and a line such as **12 homework created.** A message also appears at the top.
12. Press **Back to homework**.
→ The new homework appears in the list.
| You press | What happens | Saved? |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ |
| **Import {number} homework** | All the homework in the file is created and given to sections | Yes |
| **Import another file** | This file is dropped, and you can pick a new file | No |
| **Cancel** | The app asks, then returns to the list | No |
