Open Update Student Diary
Open General → Student Diary → a diary card → Edit.
Choose your layout
Classic opens first unless you save another default. Try the new layout and View old layout switch both ways. A layout in the page address takes priority for that visit. Failed default saves keep your previous choice and offer Retry. Switching on this page keeps the current inputs, editor text, file controls, checked cards and page address. Other links retain their original destinations.
Original scope
Edit keeps the existing diary identifier and original fields. The web edit replaces the subject records; existing attachments are not retained unless you upload them again. Save and Save and Send SMS remain separate. Original Cancel and return links retain their destinations.
Loading and recovery
The new layout disables data controls during required reads or saves. Failed reads hide stale content and offer Retry. A report Retry uses the filters submitted for that failed read. Class and subject retries keep their original requested scope. Cancel and Close remain usable. Browser Print keeps the original displayed cards or form fields and diary text; the per-card Print action retains its single-card scope. Switching layouts does not submit a save or send.
