# Manage School Overview

> Learn what Manage School is, who should use it, and how to get your school set up.

Manage School is the administrator portal for schools with an Exam Insights School Licence. It is where you add students and educators, grant and manage licences, and monitor usage across your school.

This guide introduces Manage School and links to detailed articles for each step of the process.

## What is Manage School?

Manage School is a dedicated portal for school administrators. It gives your school direct control over who has access to Exam Insights and how licences are allocated.

**Who should use it**

Manage School is designed for staff responsible for rolling out Exam Insights at your school. Typical users include curriculum leaders, deputy principals, heads of department, and IT administrators.

**What you can do**

From Manage School, administrators can:

* Add students and educators to your school
* Grant and remove licences
* Upload spreadsheets for bulk user management
* Monitor licence usage across your school

## How Manage School works

The typical workflow follows five steps:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Purchase licences">
    Your school purchases a School Licence through our [School Partnerships team](/pricing/for_schools).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add users">
    Add students and educators individually, via spreadsheet upload, or ask us to import them for you. See [Adding Students & Educators](/manage_school/adding_students_and_educators).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Grant licences">
    Assign licences when you are ready for users to access upgraded features. See [Managing Licences](/manage_school/managing_licences).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Users sign in">
    Students and educators sign in with their school email using Microsoft, Google, or email and password.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Users choose subjects">
    Each user selects their own subjects. Administrators do not need to create classes or assign subjects.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once users have chosen their subjects, they can start using Exam Insights immediately.
