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.

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.)
