Frequently Asked Questions About Wonder Ink

There is a button to download the customized lesson as a PDF within the portal, or you can download an original version from the Resource Library.

To invite new users in your church to join the portal, go to Settings. Click the Settings button. Copy the link to send to staff they want to join the portal and paste it into an email inviting your volunteers to Join. Once your volunteers join, you will have to approve them in the My Church area.

You can easily tell when you have users waiting to be approved when you log into Wonder Ink.  The dark blue circle lets you know how many users are awaiting approval.

To approve the users, click on the Pending Registrations. Select the user role, and then click Accept.  For your children’s ministry leaders and volunteers, there are two user roles – Admin and Viewer. The Admin has the ability to make changes to the lessons and approve users. A viewer can only read the content.

Your Admin users can edit lessons, but don’t worry—they won’t be able to delete the original version of the lesson, so if one of your leaders accidentally makes a mistake when editing the lesson in the portal, you can always have the original version available.

When you go into “Presentation” mode two new tabs will appear (Hint: make sure you have turned off your pop-up blocker). One screen is what your volunteer will use to teach from, and the other screen is what your kids will see on the screens (slides, videos, etc.). Drag the Student View tab into the monitor that you use for projecting the lesson. When you push play on the video in the Teaching View tab, the video will automatically play in the Student View tab. In the following image, the left side is what you should see.  The right side is what the students see on the screen.

Another way to access videos is through the Resource library.  To access the “Resource Library” for a particular lesson please follow the steps below:

1. Select a lesson.
2. Click on Resource Library.
3. Click on Video.
4. Click on the three dots on your upper right-hand side then click on “Preview” to play the video.
5. You can also play the video right from the portal without using presentation mode. Click on the media in the lesson, then click the video and click the “full screen” button to make it full screen.
