Create, switch, and clone projects

Start a separate project for a new school year. Create an empty one or carry over selected data from an existing project.

Before you begin

You must be a member of the organization. All three roles can create, edit, clone, and delete projects.

Create a project

1. Open All projects in the intended organization and select Create project.
2. Enter a unique name, such as “School year 2026/27”.
3. Confirm with Create project, then open project settings.

Switch projects

1. Click the current project name at the top of the sidebar.
2. Select a project or All projects to open the organization’s project overview.
3. For another organization, open All projects and use the organization name at the top to switch.
4. Check the organization and project name before changing data.

Clone a project for a new school year

1. Under All projects, select Duplicate in the source project’s row menu (⋯).
2. Enter a name for the new project.
3. Use the following table to select the data you need. Dependent options are selected or cleared automatically.
4. Select Clone project. Stundenwerk opens the new project.
5. Check lesson slots, subjects, teachers, rooms, lessons, and assignments. Schedule the lessons in the grid again.

What is copied?

Option	Contents	Requires
Lesson slots	Slot labels and order	—
Subjects	Aliases, names, and colors	—
Resources	Teachers and rooms, including target lessons	—
Timetables	Class timetable aliases and names	—
Class teachers	Assignments to class timetables	Resources and timetables
Lessons	Subjects and totals for each timetable	Subjects and timetables
Lesson resources	Teacher/room assignments, including hidden resources	Resources and lessons

If you clear Lesson resources, rows with the same subject in the same timetable are combined and their totals are added together. Without Lesson slots, the new project receives the default slots. Only selected data is copied, and the clone stays in the same organization.

Placements are never copied, even with all seven options selected. A cloned project is therefore not a complete backup of a finished timetable. Export important scheduling states as PDFs as well; a PDF cannot be imported back as a project.

Permanently delete a project

Danger

Delete project permanently removes the project and all its timetables, lessons, and placements. There is no undo. An export preserves only the readable output, not the editable data.

1. Open All projects and select Delete in the project’s row menu.
2. Under Project name, enter the exact displayed project name.
3. Check the organization and project name again, then select Delete project.

Result

Check the name and copied data in the open project. After cloning, the grid is empty; lessons need to be scheduled again.

If it does not work

• If other checkboxes change while cloning, check the dependencies in the table. For example, Lessons also require Subjects and Timetables.
• If a project is missing, check the current organization and open All projects there.
• If deletion fails, copy the project name exactly, including spaces and additions.

Next step

• Prepare master data
• Create timetables and lessons
• Change project settings
