How can I download a unit as an educator?

Updated over a week ago

Toddle allows you to download your unit plan in a format that’s simple to share, review, or store.


With flexible download options, you can generate a concise overview or a detailed copy of your planner, choosing which sections to include.

In this article:

Access the download option

  • Go to Class → Planning → Unit planning.

Choose your download type

You can choose between two options:

  • Quick download

  • Custom download

Quick download

Use ‘Quick download’ to instantly generate a PDF version of your unit that includes the main planning sections — Planning (or Inquiry & Action) and Reflections. This option excludes the Unit flow and Evidencing sections.

Note: All links, attachments, and media added anywhere in the unit appear as clickable links in the downloaded file.

Custom download

Use ‘Custom download’ to generate a detailed version of your planner and decide which parts to include in the PDF:

  1. All tabs of your unit plan, including Unit Flow and Evidencing (which are not part of the Quick download), can be selected for download.

  2. You can choose specific sections to include within tabs that have multiple sub-sections, such as ‘Inquiry & Action’ or ‘Reflections’.

Once your selections are finalized, click ‘Download’. A PDF copy of the planner will be emailed to your registered address.

Note: The available sections and their structure may vary based on your school’s planner configuration. The examples shown here reflect a standard MYP planner. Your school’s version may include additional or renamed sections.

Once ready, you will receive an email to download the PDF copy of the Unit.

Note: The download link remains valid for 30 days from the date of generation.

Once downloaded, the planner PDF displays each selected section as it appears on Toddle — maintaining the same headers, sub-sections, and formatting. This ensures the printed or shared copy mirrors the digital planner view.

  • Inquiry & Action:

Student and family download

When a unit is shared with students or families, they can view it in read-only mode.

From the three-dot menu in the shared unit, they will see a ‘Download’ option that performs a quick download of the unit plan.
