Lectra’s Settings has five tabs: Account, Intelligence, Cloud & Backup, Storage, and App. Apple Pencil and finger-drawing settings are in the editor instead. This page describes every setting, in the order it appears.

​
Open Settings

  • If you’re signed in: in the library, tap your profile picture. It’s next to Lectra at the top of the sidebar, or at the top right on a narrow window.
  • With a keyboard: press ⌘ , from anywhere in Lectra.
If you aren’t signed in, the profile button opens the sign-in screen instead. To reach Settings without signing in, press ⌘ , on a hardware keyboard. On a wide screen, the tabs are listed on the left. On a narrow screen, they’re in a row across the top. Tap Done to close Settings.

Connect Canvas

This connection is shared with the Scope extension. It lets Scope check what’s due, module pages, and files for you, even when Canvas isn’t open. Lectra itself doesn’t use it for your documents.
1

Create a token in Canvas

In Canvas, go to Account > Settings. Under Approved Integrations, choose + New Access Token. Name it “Scope”, pick an expiry if you like, and choose Generate Token. Copy the token.
2

Enter it in Lectra

In Settings > Account > Connect Canvas, enter your school’s Canvas address in Canvas address, such as school.instructure.com. Paste the token in Access token.
3

Connect

Tap Connect. When it works, you see Connected.
To disconnect, tap Disconnect. Scope forgets your token. You can also delete the token in Canvas under Approved Integrations.
Some schools don’t let students create access tokens. If you don’t see the option in Canvas, skip this. Scope keeps working with the Canvas pages you open. To learn more, see Connect your courses.

​
Intelligence

This tab turns Lectra’s study tools on or off and shows what they did.
  • The switch turns intelligence On or Off. It’s off until you turn it on, either here or the first time you open a study tool.
  • WHAT YOU CAN DO lists the study tools: Summarize, Ask this document, Flashcards, and Practice quiz.
  • RECENT ACTIVITY lists each time a study tool ran in the last 30 days: what it was, which document, and that it ran on this device. To clear the list, tap Clear.
On an iPad that can’t run Apple Intelligence, the tab explains why, for example Not available on this device or Turn on Apple Intelligence, and has no switch. To learn more, see Apple Intelligence.

​
Cloud and backup

The Cloud & Backup tab holds extra ways to protect your documents beyond your account backup. To learn how account backups work, see Backups.

​
Downloads

When you’re signed in, Lectra can remove documents you haven’t opened in a while from this iPad to save room. They stay backed up and download again when you open them.
  • Keep Downloaded For: choose 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or Always. Lectra starts removing downloads on its own only after you choose one of the day options here. With Always, nothing is removed on its own.
  • Free Up Space Now: removes downloads right away, following the same rules.
Lectra never removes a document that isn’t backed up, that has handwriting only on this iPad, that has changes waiting to back up, or that’s open. To keep a specific document, tap its … button in the library and tap Keep on This Device.

​
Storage

The Storage tab shows what’s backed up, what’s on this iPad, and how much room is left. It needs you to be signed in and online. Otherwise, it says storage details aren’t available right now.

​
App

​
Pencil and input

Apple Pencil and finger-drawing settings are in the editor. Open a document, tap More actions (the ellipsis button), then tap Pencil & Input. To learn what each option does, see Use Apple Pencil.
