Educa’s Copy Story feature lets you take an existing published Individual Story and quickly create a new version for another child. Only the text is copied, so you can easily tailor media and reflections for each child’s experience.

When to use Copy Story

Use Copy Story when:

  • You’ve documented a shared experience and want to create individual stories.

  • You want to reuse your reflections, observations, and learning insights, but adjust the details for each child.

  • You don’t want to start from scratch for every child’s story.

⚠️ You can only copy published Individual stories. Draft stories and Group stories cannot be copied.

Steps: Copy a story to another child

  1. Open the original story

  2. Click More > Copy

  3. Select the child

    • Choose the child whose profile you want to copy the story to.

    • The copied story will open in edit mode for that child.

  4. Edit and personalise

    • Update the text to reflect this child’s experience (reflections, observations, next steps).

    • Add or change photos, videos, plans, and forms as needed.

    • Add Framework links

  5. Publish the new story

    • Click Publish.

    • The story is saved as an Individual Story on that child’s profile.

  6. Repeat for other children (optional)

    • Repeat the steps above for each additional child you’d like to create an individual story for.

What is included in the Copy

This feature is designed to streamline the process of creating personalised stories for each child while maintaining flexibility and performance. Here’s what is included in the copied story:

Text (Reflections, Observations, and Learning Insights)

The copied story will include all text content, such as the child’s reflections, observations, and learning insights from the original story. This ensures that the core learning experience is shared and can be personalised for each child.

Why Only Text?

Focusing on copying text ensures each child's story remains relevant and personalised. You can easily update and adjust content for the individual child while adding the most appropriate images or videos afterward.

Why Not Media, Plans, or Forms?

Media such as photos, plans, and forms are excluded to maintain relevance and context for each child. This also ensures faster processing and optimal platform performance.
