Your WordPress admin (Sikshya)
Open WordPress admin → Sikshya (your site may show a custom name from branding). You get one full-screen app with a sidebar. The labels below match what the plugin ships in code—if you don’t see an item, your user role may not have access (students don’t see most of this).
Free vs Pro: Some links show a small Upgrade or Off badge in the sidebar (same colors as in the product). That means the feature needs Sikshya Pro, the right plan, and the Add-on switched on under Addons.
