Follow this walkthrough to understand the Console’s key functions.

From the Console, you can:

• Create and manage one or more academies

• Monitor and manage your subscription plan

• Track credit consumption across programs and students

• Purchase additional credits or student licenses

• Handle billing, invoices, and payment details

Accessing the Console from the Academy App

You don't need to navigate to a separate URL to reach the Console. If you're already inside your Academy app, you can jump to the Console in just a few clicks.

1. Look at the bottom-left corner of the sidebar inside your Academy app and click your profile name.

2. A small menu will pop up with several options: Help & Resources, Profile Settings, Academy Settings, and Sign Out. Click Academy Settings.

3. In Academy Settings, open the Billing tab from the left-hand menu.

4. Under Current plan, click Manage in Console to be taken directly to the Console app.

Dashboard - Managing Your Academies

When you arrive in the Console, the first screen you'll see is the Dashboard. This is where all your academies are listed, and where you can create new ones.

What you can do on the Dashboard

1. View all your academies — Each academy appears as a card showing its name and domain URL.

2. Create a new academy — Click the Create Academy card to set up a brand-new academy. This is the same flow most users go through when they first sign up for EdisonOS.

Billing & Subscription - Overview

The Billing & Subscription section is accessible from the left sidebar of the Console. This is where you manage plans, billing, and subscriptions for your academies in one place.

When you land on this page, you'll see a card for each academy under your account. Each card displays:

• The academy name and domain.

• The Plan the academy's current subscription plan (e.g., Scale).

• Valid till the date the plan renews or expires.

• A Manage Billing button.

Click Manage Billing on any academy card to manage the billing and subscription details for that specific academy.

Plan Details

The Plan Details tab gives you a complete overview of your current subscription plan, what's included, and your invoice history.

Your Plan Card includes:

• The plan name and price - for example, the Basic plan is priced at $499 per year.

• Your renewal date - the date your subscription is set to renew or expire.

• Included credits - the number of credits bundled with your plan (e.g., 250 credits on the Basic plan).

• A progress bar showing how many credits have been used versus how many remain, along with a percentage indicator.

What's Included in the Basic Plan:

• 1 Admin account and up to 3 Tutor accounts

• 100 free credits to administer practice tests

• Access to a question bank with 1,000+ questions

• Ability to create and upload your own custom questions

• Advanced analytics and reporting dashboard

• Bulk discount options available

Manage Billing: Clicking the Manage Billing button in the top-right corner takes you to a dedicated billing portal. Here you can view and update your payment method, download past invoices, and access additional options including plan cancellation if needed.

Invoices Section: Scroll down on the Plan Details tab to find your full invoice history. You can search for specific invoices by name or number, and download individual receipts or all invoices at once using the Download All button. Each row in the table shows the invoice ID, payment status (e.g., Paid), amount charged, and billing date.

Credits Details

The Credits Details tab gives you a real-time, program-level breakdown of how your credits are being consumed across your academy.

Credits Overview - Summary Cards:

At the top of this tab, you'll see three summary cards:

You can also filter the overview by time period using the dropdown on the top right (e.g., Last 7 days, Last 30 days).

Buy Credits: If you're running low, click the Buy Credits button to purchase additional credits without needing to upgrade your plan. This is especially useful mid-cycle when your included credits have been used up.

Credits Usage by Program and Student: Below the summary cards, the Credits Usage section lets you see how credits are being spent at a per-student, per-program level. Use the SAT, ACT, and SHSAT tabs to switch between programs. For each program, you'll see a table listing:

• Student name and email

• Number of tests taken

• Number of credits used

This makes it easy to spot which students or programs are consuming the most credits, helping you plan and budget efficiently.

How Credits Are Charged Per Program

It's important to understand how credits are deducted based on the type of activity a student undertakes. Credits are not a flat rate, they vary depending on the program and whether the student is taking a full practice test, a module test, or working on problem sets.

SAT / ACT

SHSAT / PSAT

License Details

The License Details tab is where you manage student licenses - an alternative access model to per-test credit consumption.

What is a Student License? A student license gives a specific student unlimited access to all practice tests, module tests, and problem sets within a specific program for the entire duration of the license without drawing from your credit balance. This is ideal when a student is in intensive prep and expected to take many tests over a fixed period.

For example, if a student holds a 3-month SAT license, they can take any number of SAT practice tests and problem sets throughout those 3 months without any credit deductions.

License Duration Options:

Each duration card shows how many licenses of that type are currently available in your account. When the count shows 0, you'll need to purchase more before assigning them to students.

Buying Licenses: Click the Buy License button in the top-right corner to purchase student licenses. You'll be taken to a purchase page where you select the program (e.g., SAT, ACT, SHSAT), the duration tier, and the quantity you need. Once purchased, the licenses appear in your count and can be assigned to students from within the Academy app.

Licensed Students: At the bottom of this tab, the Licensed Students section lists all students who currently have an active license assigned to them, including which plan they're on.
