TeachShare supports four distinct output formats, selectable via tabs at the top of the creator box.

| Format | Icon | Best For |
| ---- |
| **Pages** | Document icon | Worksheets, handouts, reading passages, quizzes, graphic organizers |
| **Slides** | Presentation icon | Direct instruction, visual aids, student presentations |
| **Lesson Plan** | Book/stack icon | Full structured lesson plans with objectives, phases, and assessment |
| **Create from PDF** | Upload icon | Modifying, differentiating, or extracting content from existing PDFs |

### Pages
The default format, Pages produces a multi-page document resource. This is the most versatile format and is appropriate for the vast majority of classroom materials including worksheets, reading passages, vocabulary activities, and assessments.

### Slides
The Slides format generates a presentation deck with structured content across multiple slides. This is useful for teachers who want to project material during instruction or assign a student-facing presentation activity.

### Lesson Plan
The Lesson Plan format generates a complete instructional plan that includes learning objectives, step-by-step lesson phases (e.g., warm-up, direct instruction, guided practice, independent practice, closure), timing estimates, and assessment strategies. This is the most comprehensive output format.

### Create from PDF
This format allows teachers to upload an existing PDF — such as a textbook chapter, an old worksheet, or a district-provided document — and use TeachShare's AI to transform it. The AI can differentiate the content, add scaffolding, translate it, or reformat it entirely.

**Use Case:** A special education teacher has a district-mandated worksheet that is too difficult for several students. They upload the PDF using "Create from PDF," then prompt TeachShare to *"Simplify the language to a 2nd-grade reading level and add sentence starters for each question."* The result is a fully differentiated version of the original document.
