If you are viewing your plans in day mode, you can easily return to week mode by clicking the button listing the date at the top of the day.

The image to the left shows a version of the week view for an example file. Note that the currently selected lesson is designated with a black outline. Lessons with information entered into them are shown in a darker variant of the color you selected for that class. Also, note the existence of the text boxes at the bottom of every day. These text entry areas are designed to hold meeting information, reminders or other important information specific to that day that doesn't belong in a lesson plan.

The daily notes text areas may be resized by dragging the divider between the text area and the lesson views up or down. All the notes views resize synchronously.
