It is important to know that Worlds that learners create in their account are stored on that device, they will need to use the same device each time to continue their build.
Up to 30 users can be on any one world at one time, they must be on the same version.
If using a Chromebook/iPad additional worlds can take up storage. It is best to limit the number of users per device to avoid the number of accounts taking up space.
