# Prepare a classroom attendance update

Interactive synthetic form walkthrough. Demonstrates preparation and review; no save, send, access change or payment is submitted.

Source: real components from c62c6ec1, synthetic fixtures. Computer-generated narration with captions; timing follows the spoken steps. No completed server action is represented.

## 1. Confirm the exact school and record

This uses the real app editor with synthetic training records. Check the school, family or employee before changing a field.

## 2. Open the attendance controls

Expand Attendance and confirm the selected child belongs to the teacher’s classroom.

## 3. Review status choices

Choose only the status matching the child’s real attendance. This example prepares Absent without submitting it.

## 4. Distinguish status from an arrival or departure

Review the log type separately. A status selection and an actual check-in or check-out describe different facts.

## 5. Review before saving

After an authorized update, verify the child card and the event time. This training form is not submitted.
