What Are Page Sets?
Page sets are collections of vocabulary tiles on your AAC grid. Each page set represents a complete vocabulary configuration that you can personalize for different users.
Overview
With page sets, you can:
- View and switch — Open Settings → Display & Navigation → Page Sets to see your list and set which one is current
- Duplicate — Copy a page set for yourself, including to a different grid size when available
- Send a copy — Share a page set with a communicator you support (they get their own editable copy)
- Reset tiles — Restore a page set to the default vocabulary
- Translate — Fill in tile labels and speech for your configured languages
Managing Page Sets
Viewing Your Page Sets
To view and manage your page sets, navigate to Settings and select the Page Sets section. Here you'll see a list of all your available page sets with options to manage each one.
Switching Between Page Sets
You can switch between page sets from the settings menu. When you switch, your grid will update to display the vocabulary tiles from the selected page set.
Changing Grid Size
Grid size is set per page set, not globally, so you can create page sets with different grid sizes and switch between them whenever you need a different number of buttons on screen.
- Go to Settings → Display & Navigation → Page Sets.
- Click + New page set.
- Select a grid size: 20, 40, or 56 (20 = fewer, larger buttons; 56 = more, smaller buttons).
- Name the new page set (for example, "Name20Grid").
- Open More actions (⋯) next to the page set and select Set as current to switch to it.
Note: Grid size only has three presets — there isn't a way to set a custom or in-between number of buttons.
Send a Copy to a Communicator
Organization professionals and admins can send a copy of a page set to a communicator they support. The communicator gets their own page set. They can edit it without changing yours.
Note: This creates a separate copy. Changes on one side do not sync to the other.
Who can send a copy
- You need to be a professional, admin, or owner in an organization.
- You can send only to communicators you support (your caseload).
- To copy a page set for yourself, use Duplicate instead.
How to send a copy
- Go to Settings → Display & Navigation → Page Sets.
- Find the page set you want to share.
- Open More actions (⋯).
- Select Send a copy.
- Search for a Communicator by name or email.
- Optionally edit the Name for their copy.
- Optionally check Set as their current page set so it becomes active on their account right away.
- Click Send copy.
You'll see a confirmation when the copy is added to their page sets.
Fill missing translations (optional)
After the copy is sent, you can choose Fill missing translations. Flexspeak fills in missing labels for up to three of the communicator's saved languages. You can also choose Not now and finish later.
Opening a copy you received
There is no invite link to accept. The new page set appears in the communicator's Settings → Page Sets list.
- Open Settings → Page Sets.
- If it isn't already active, open More actions (⋯) and choose Set as current.
- Edit, rename, or archive it like any other page set.
Resetting Tiles
If you've made changes to a page set and want to start fresh, you can reset the tiles back to the default vocabulary.
How to Reset Tiles
- Go to Settings > Page Sets
- Find the page set you want to reset
- Select the Reset Tiles option
- Confirm the reset
Important: Resetting tiles will remove any custom words, folders, or customizations you've added to that page set. This action cannot be undone, so make sure you want to start over before confirming.
Translating Page Sets
When you duplicate or manage page sets, you can also translate the vocabulary into different languages. The translation functionality works with your configured languages and will translate tile labels and speech output for the entire page set.
Updated vocabulary layout
Some words have been reorganized so common categories are easier to reach. Your current page set stays as it is until you choose the updated layout.
In Eat on the updated layout, Fruits and Vegetables are on page 1. Lettuce, corn, and tomato are in Vegetables. Dishes such as bibimbap, bulgogi, and sushi are inside Asian food, which is also on page 1 of Eat. Paintbrush is in Art. Toothbrush is under Body.
A classic page set is labeled Grid 20 · Classic vocabulary (or 40 or 56). An updated page set shows the grid size only.
Try it from the prompt
The first time you open a classic page set, you may see Updated vocabulary organization.
- Click "Try the updated layout" to make a copy, or "Keep my current layout" to stay on the page set you have.
- The copy keeps the original name and adds (updated layout) at the end. It becomes your current page set.
- The original page set is not changed.
Copy it from Page Sets
- Go to Settings → Page Sets.
- On a classic page set, open More actions (⋯).
- Select "Copy with updated layout".
The copy becomes your current page set. The original stays in the list.
Switch back
- Go to Settings → Page Sets.
- Find the original page set.
- Open More actions (⋯) and select "Set as current".
There is no action that copies an updated page set back onto the classic layout. Switching back uses the original page set, which was left unchanged.
Tips for Page Set Management
- Start with a base set: Create one well-organized page set, then duplicate it for variations
- Use different grid sizes for different access needs: Choose the largest grid size that the user can comfortably see and accurately select. Larger grids (i.e., more buttons per page) can reduce the need for navigation and help "future-proof" the system. However, the grid should remain physically and visually accessible for the user.
- Label your page sets clearly: Give each page set a descriptive name so you can easily identify its purpose
- Reset sparingly: Only reset tiles when you're sure you want to lose all customizations
