How do I edit a worksheet question by hand?

Open the worksheet in the editor, where every question is a block you can rewrite, reorder, add, or delete. Drag blocks to change the order, click a question to edit its text, and use the insert button to drop a new one in between. A live preview shows the printed page as you work, and undo/redo (plus save) keep your changes safe. It's the quick way to fix a number, swap a name, or drop a question that doesn't suit. The block editor is part of the Teacher and Pro plans, and every new account gets 7 days of Pro to try it.

Step by step

  1. Open the worksheet in the editor

    From a worksheet you've generated, click "Edit" in the tools alongside it to switch from viewing to editing.

    The 'Edit' button in the Lessonpress worksheet tools.

  2. Edit, reorder, or remove questions

    Every question is a block. Click its text to rewrite it, use the arrows (or drag the handle) to reorder, change the question type, or delete one you don't want — and the insert button drops a new question in between.

  3. Watch the live preview

    A side-by-side preview shows the printed page updating as you edit, so you can see exactly how it'll look on paper.

  4. Save and print

    Save your changes — the "Save changes" button, or Cmd+S — then print the worksheet or save it as a PDF.

Good to know

  • Made a mistake? Undo and redo let you step backward and forward freely.
  • After hand-editing a question, glance at the answer key before printing so it still matches what's on the page.
  • Small tweaks — a name, a number, a context that fits the child or class in front of you — are often faster here than regenerating.

Common questions

Can I undo a change?

Yes. The editor has undo and redo, so you can step back and forth through your edits without losing work.

Will my changes be saved?

Yes — save with the save button or Cmd+S, and the edited worksheet stays in your library.

Can I add a brand-new question?

Yes. Use the insert button to drop a new question block in between existing ones, then type its content.
