# Student panel (add and edit)

> Add or edit student records in the student panel. Capture identity fields, contact details, and external identifiers used across the workspace.

The student panel captures core identity fields and external identifiers used across the workspace.

## What this screen is for

* Create a new student record.
* Update an existing student record.

## What you can see

The panel title is **Add Student** or **Edit Student** with descriptions:

* Add: **Add a student record that can be reused across the app later.**
* Edit: **Update this student record and its external identifiers.**

Fields include:

* **First name**
* **Last name**
* **Preferred name** (optional), with a note that it is used for the primary display name when provided
* **Date of birth** using a calendar picker, with validation if the date is invalid
* **SIS ID**, **Secondary SIS ID**, and **Tertiary SIS ID** (optional)
* **UPI ID** (optional)
* **Wonde ID** (optional)
* **Student email** (optional)

Submit actions:

* **Create Student** (or equivalent create label) when adding
* **Save changes** when editing

## Read-only and error states

* If you cannot manage students, you may see **Read-only access** explaining only admins, managers, and members can create or edit student records.
* If saving fails, you may see **Unable to save student** with details.

## Permissions and read-only behaviour

Editing requires student management permission. Fields and submit actions are disabled when you are read-only.

## Tips

* Prefer a consistent email strategy (school issued vs family email) before importing large cohorts.
* Use secondary and tertiary SIS IDs only when your school systems require them.
