How do I enable or disable sharing for my district?
How do I enable or disable sharing for my district?
Note: By default, sharing is disabled within your district for FERPA compliance. As an admin, you can change this any time and rotate between 3 options (see below) at an individual school level, or district level. Enabling sharing is still privacy compliant, as it hides the student if they send a link.
Share with anyone: This setting allows students to share links with anyone publicly.
Share with nobody: This setting blocks students from sharing links with anyone.
Share within district: This setting allows students to share links only with other students inside the district.
Enabling or disabling sharing:
Click the settings button on the top right of the admin dashboard.
Under the Sharing section, select the desired setting per school or for the entire district.
Click save at the top right of the screen, all the way next to the beginning of the Settings page.
