# Classes: Add, edit and archive
### Open the admin screen
You can use Literatu admin screens to add classes, edit their details and remove empty classes. To manage classes using Literatu admin:

2. Login with your community administrator or teacher account.
3. Click the **setup icon** at the top right.
### Adding a new class

2. Enter the **class name**, the **year (**grade) and the **subject.**

a) Email an invitation to your students which they can use to join your class using a link.
{% content-ref url="/pages/-MRHY4bZP2-W43fVVKL6" %}
[Send student registration link](/literatu-admin/link-based-registration/send-student-registration-keys.md)

b) You can also add students to your class by searching for them if they are already in your school, or by keying in their details.
To use either of these methods, click the student count button beside the class you just created.
