> **Note:** Sign in to HTT Schools as an administrator of your school to follow these steps.

## Step by step

### 1. Open the syllabus

Open Curriculum, then the Syllabus tab. Pick a level, a subject and a term. Here, J S S 2 Mathematics, first term. It is empty for now.

*Step 1: Open the syllabus*

### 2. Load the sample

Press Load sample syllabus. In a moment, every level gets a starting scheme of work for Mathematics, English, Basic Science and Social Studies: three topics a term.

*Step 2: Load the sample*

### 3. Sample badges

Each one is marked Sample, so nobody mistakes it for your school’s own scheme of work. Check it against yours.

*Step 3: Sample badges*

### 4. Make it yours

To change a topic, press the pencil. Once you edit it, it is yours: the Sample badge goes, and a reset of the samples will leave it alone.

### 5. Add your own

To add your own topics, paste them on the right, one per line. Start a line with the word Week and a number to set the week. Then press Add to the scheme.

*Step 5: Add your own*

### 6. Reset

Made a mistake? Press Reset. Remove samples takes out only the sample topics you have not touched. Clear everything removes the whole syllabus, and asks you to type CLEAR first.

*Step 6: Reset*

The samples are gone. Your edited topic and the two you added are still here.
