Use sections in Hāpara Workspace to group related cards (resources, activities, evidence or rubrics) within the same column. 

This helps you break a large unit into smaller chunks (weeks, themes, checkpoints) and makes it easier for students to find what they need.

Why you should use sections in Hāpara Workspaces

Sections are a simple way to organize big or long-running Workspaces.

You can:
• Break a unit into smaller parts (for example, Week 1, Week 2, Assessment)
• Group cards that go together within a column
• Make it easier for students to scan and find the right resources

Note: Any cards that are not assigned to a section always appear at the top of a Workspace, above any sections.

How to create sections in Hāpara Workspaces

1. Open your Workspace.

2. Decide where you want to add a section in a column.

3. Click Add section in that column.
   
   

    

4. Type a name for the section (for example, “Week 1: Introduction” or “Final project”).

5. Click outside the section name bar, or press Enter, to save the name.

6. Drag existing cards in that column into the new section as needed.
   
   

Tip: Use clear, student-friendly section names so students can quickly understand what each part of the Workspace is for.

What happens to cards in a removed section

• If you delete a section that still has cards in it, those cards are not deleted.
• The cards move back into the un-sectioned area at the top of that column in the Workspace.

Additional tips

• Cards can only be dragged into a section in the same column (you cannot drag a card into a section in a different column).
• You can add as many sections as you need in a Workspace.
• You can copy a section and all of its cards to reuse in the same Workspace or in another Workspace.
• Plan your sections before building a big Workspace (for example: Launch, Pratice, Apply, Assess).
• Keep section names short and consistent (for example, always start with “Lesson” or “Week”).
• After adding sections, quickly scan your Workspace from a student’s point of view to check that the order and names make sense.
•  If students say they “can’t find” something, check whether it should be moved into a more obvious section.
