Active Switch on Curriculum Tab Items in Admin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Admin Class Curriculum<\/strong> screen now features a toggle switch on each curriculum and course card. Switching it OFF <\/strong>immediately deactivates student access while keeping the item visible\u2014unlike the Unassign <\/strong>button, which completely removes the item from the class. This offers a faster, more flexible way to manage student access while preserving the teacher’s setup.

Added a \u2018+\u2019 icon and a three-dot menu<\/strong> that appears when you hover over each word in the custom word list. This streamlines access to editing options, improving workflow efficiency when managing the wordlist.
