Sharing a Template

Sharing a template that you have created will allow all other instructors in your Grade Book to see it and assign it to their sections. Sharing a template will automatically share all assignments within it.

 

To share a template with other instructors, first navigate to the template’s individual settings page by selecting the name of the template in the template library (the “Manage by Template” page).

 

 

On the template’s individual details page, you’ll notice a checkbox marked “Share” underneath the name field.

 

To share the template, select the checkbox marked “Share”, then press the Save Changes button at the top or bottom of the page.

 

Unsharing a Template

To unshare a template, navigate to the template’s individual details page, un-check the “Share” checkbox and press Save Changes.

 

The template will no longer be available for other instructors to see or assign. If any other instructors have assigned the shared template, you will be notified and required to confirm before any action is taken.

 

Sharing Permissions

After sharing a template, any changes you make to it will affect the shared template for all instructors (e.g. your edits will be global). Should the template be assigned to another instructor’s section, you will be warned and asked to confirm your changes before any action is taken.

 

Instructors with whom the template is shared will not be able to make global edits to it. Instead, they will be able to create local copies of the template for their own use.
