Inspect the result
The actual CSV places all six students with zero conflicts. Noah’s Monday 16:00 slot stays fixed; the screenshot and file use this guide example.

| Monday | 16:00 | Noah Copperfield |
| Monday | 16:30 | Emma Ashgrove |
| Monday | 17:00 | Liam Ashgrove |
| Tuesday | 17:30 | Sofia Brookfield |
| Wednesday | 16:00 | Oliver Elderby |
| Thursday | 17:30 | Mia Dunlin |

Keep your timetable safe while a file opens
CSV and saved-project reads pause editing, solving and export. Cancel keeps the current timetable and ignores the late file result. A clear error restores the controls so you can retry the same file.
Open, wait or cancel
While a CSV or saved project is opening, the current timetable stays visible and editing and export wait. Use Cancel to keep working with your current timetable.

After a CSV opens, check the matched columns and preview before importing students. If a file cannot be read, your current timetable remains; correct the file and choose it again.
Chrome 152 on Linux and fictional lesson schedules were checked. Other platforms, real form exports, calendar imports and physical printing remain unverified. This remains the 0.1.x edition; desktop use is recommended.

How it works
Buy, download and open
Buy from /store/vesna-lessons/ and download vesna-lessons-0.1.2.zip from the checkout page. Extract it and open vesna-lessons/index.html in Chrome. The first time, it opens a fictional 32-student sample studio; press “Solve schedule” to see how it works. Later it opens your last project from the browser; use “Load sample data…” to see the samples again.
Set up your studio
On the Studio tab enter Studio name, Teacher and “Lesson name in calendars”, the time display, the grid step for lesson start times, default lesson length and sibling default. Under “Teaching hours” tick your teaching days with From and To times, add Breaks, set the Rules (maximum continuous teaching, minimum break, travel time between sites) and list your Locations. Click “New” first if you want to start from an empty project instead of the sample settings.
Import families
On the Import CSV tab click “Choose CSV file…” (or “Use pasted text”). In “2. Match the columns” check which column is “Student name(s)” (required), family, email, lesson length, location, availability, preferred times, fixed lesson time and siblings; columns with matching names are picked automatically. “3. Preview” lists every student with warnings. Choose the Import mode — “Replace all families and students (settings and locations stay)” or “Add to the current families” — and click “Import … students”, or “Discard”.
Before you buy
- Desktop Google Chrome.
- Families' availability as a CSV file, for example a Google Forms or Microsoft Forms response export or your own spreadsheet with a student name column and availability text such as “Mon 15:30-18:00; Wed 15:30-18:00”.
Extract the ZIP and open index.html in desktop Google Chrome. Start with the fictional 32-student studio.
