Guide Me won't just hand over the answer
It's the default for homework. You still get to the answer — you just get there in steps you could reproduce on a test, with the gap saved so it stops repeating.
- Step 01
It reads the problem with you
Type it or snap a photo. Sugar restates what the question is actually asking, so you can catch a misread before it costs you the whole problem.
- Step 02
It asks what you'd try first
Instead of a solution, you get one question at your level. Your answer tells Sugar where the gap is — a formula you don't have, a step you skip, or an idea you never got taught.
- Step 03
It gives one step, then stops
You do the next line. Get it wrong and Sugar names the specific mistake rather than restarting the problem from the top.
- Step 04
It remembers the gap
The thing you got stuck on is saved as a concept and comes back later as a short recall question — days later, when it's actually worth reviewing.
When you want the answer instead
Switch to Answer in the composer and Sugar gives the worked solution outright — useful when you're checking your own work or short on time before a deadline. Teach me explains the whole idea from scratch, and Teach back makes you explain it and grades your explanation. Guide Me is simply the default, not a lock.
Why we default to it
A copied answer disappears by the next quiz. A step you produced yourself, plus a recall question a week later, is the part that survives. That's the whole product.
