Once providers have created and shared an Admission packet, they can always be edited.
ℹ️ Any updates to forms in a packet, the packet name, or welcome message - affects all shared packets, including those that have already been submitted. We recommend duplicating a packet if changes are necessary.

Close & reopen a packet
Providers can disable a packet to prevent additional submissions and reopen it anytime to begin accepting submissions again.
Providers can also disable link sharing if you've shared a packet via a URL with families. This blocks access to the form via the URL while still allowing families with direct invites to complete the packet. This is useful if you've shared the link on your website or via brightwheel messaging and no longer wish for families to make submissions.
Log in to brightwheel on the web
From the left purple menu, click Admissions
Go to the Admission packet tab
Click Actions next to the packet, then choose Edit packet
Locate the ‘Status & sharing’ tile:
To close the entire packet, select Disable packet. To reopen the packet, click Activate packet in the banner at the top of the page.
To disable or enable link sharing, toggle the Enable link sharing switch on or off
Delete a packet
Providers can permanently delete a packet entirely which also deletes any submissions connected to the packet on both the Admin and family end.
Log in on the web
From the sidebar menu, click Admissions > Admission packet
In the packet row, click Actions > Delete
If a packet has been submitted and there is paid or unpaid submission fees, deleting the packet will not delete the fee. You can void any unpaid fees if they no longer apply.
🚩 Note: This action is permanent and the packet cannot be recovered once deleted.
