Notes About Sharing Folders

• Sharing a folder will share all files and links within that folder. 

• Students will not see folders on their account. They will only see the individual files and links within that folder.

• Adding a new file or link to a shared folder will not automatically share it with students. You must share the new file/link or reshare the folder to grant students access.

2. Confirm deletion. Any files assigned to Students will be removed from their library upon deletion.

3. Shared files / folders / links will display here.

4. Click the X next to Shared Content when you are done to return to the default library view.

Students are also notified of new shared files / folders / links in their Notifications tab.
