You can update a reflection at any time on Tapestry. You might want to do this if your reflection is currently in the 'not ready for discussion' stage or if you have completed your reflection and you are ready to add an 'impact' for it. To do this you just need to click on the 'Reflections' tab at the top of the page. Next you will need to find the reflection you want to update in the list. Remember, to find a specific reflection, you could use the search functionality (1) or the page filters (2). This tutorial will talk you through how to use the page filters. Once you've found the reflection you want to update, you just need to click…

If they have chosen to share any files with you using this feature, on the browser version of Tapestry at the top of the page, you will see an option for 'Documents'. You just need to click on that.

If you are a parent, relative or carer on Tapestry then whether you have permission to add observations or not is up to the setting (school, nursery, childminder etc.) that set you up with an account. If you have been given permission then it's really simple to add an observation, you just need to select 'Observations' at the top of the page (1) and then click on the 'Add Observation' button (2). The first thing you will need to add when adding an observation is to attach your child/children. If you just have one child on the Tapestry account, they will be automatically selected and you do not need to do anything else. …

N.B. Please note that, at the moment, staff can only create Memos from the browser version of Tapestry, which you can access from any desktop computer, laptop, tablet or phone by navigating to www.tapestryjournal.com.

There are two ways to export reports for PDF download: either individually or in bulk. In this tutorial we'll go through both ways, starting with how to export reports individually. To skip to the section on exporting reports in bulk, click here. How to export an individual report It's worth mentioning that users will be able to export any report to download that is visible to them, regardless of whether your user permissions are set to allow bulk exports. This means that managers will be able to export any reports, but other staff users will not be able to export reports awaiting deletion unless they are permitted to do so, and relatives will only be abl…
