Clients who use Clever for single sign-on, follow the instructions in the Clever Users section.

Clever Users

Clients who use Clever for single sign-on must enter and edit all course, teacher, and student data directly through Clever and should not follow the instructions in the Non-Clever Users section. Changes such as these should not be made directly in MI Write. It is possible to make such changes directly in MI Write, however, all changes will be lost after the next Clever-MI Write data sync, which typically occurs once daily. Clever data will sync with MI Write according to the preset sharing rules that are established in Clever.
