Until now, getting your semester into Sapling meant pasting syllabus sections by hand and fixing the dates it guessed wrong. As of this release: drop the syllabus in once, and the semester assembles itself.
Sapling reads the document, finds every dated commitment — exams, problem sets, quizzes, project milestones — and puts each one on your calendar with the right date, synced to Google Calendar if you have it connected. Grading weights come along for the ride: the same pass reads how your grade is composed, so the gradebook’s categories are ready before your first score exists.
One upload also seeds the rest: concepts extracted for your knowledge graph, the document indexed for the tutor to cite. The version of week one where you transcribe a PDF into three different apps is over. Drop it once, get the semester back.
