It is not possible to change usernames as the username is the unique identifier for your SoftChalk content. However, you can create a new account with a new username, create a folder to be shared with the new user and then copy your content into the shared folder.
IMPORTANT: The hyperlinks and LTI hyperlinks for your content as a new user will be different when copied into the new account.

Please reach out to SoftChalk Support and we can de-activate your previous username. (If you have one account for one activation key, we can activate your new account for you.)
*As noted previously, the hyperlinks and LTI hyperlinks for the copied lessons are different from those for the original lesson. If you previously linked to the original hyperlink, you will need to replace it with the new hyperlink to the lesson in the new username account.
