Sharing Resource Library Items

In a multi teacher studio, the teacher who created a Resource Library item can share it with selected colleagues or make it available school wide. Sharing lets colleagues view and reuse the item; it does not give them co

Sharing a Resource

Open My Library and choose Share beside a resource you created.

To share with particular colleagues, select their names and choose Save. To let every teacher in the studio use the resource, turn on Make this school-wide and save.

School-wide access and sharing with selected colleagues are separate settings. You can keep selected colleagues chosen while a resource is school-wide, so they still have access if you later turn school-wide sharing off.

What Other Teachers Can Do

Teachers who can access a resource can view it, download it, add it to their own folders or favourites, and reuse it in their lesson notes.

They cannot rename it, edit its tags, change the family download setting, alter sharing, delete or restore it, or manage its saved Practice setups. Studio admins do not receive extra control over another teacher's resources.

Each teacher's folders and favourites are private. A colleague may organise the same shared resource differently without changing how you organise it.

Finding Shared Resources

Choose Shared with me in My Library to see resources shared directly with you. You can also use the teacher filter to view your own resources, school-wide resources, or resources belonging to a particular colleague.

Shared resources are also available through Insert from Resource Library in lesson notes when they are compatible with the tool you are using.

Removing Access or Deleting a Shared Resource

You can remove a colleague from the Share list or turn off school-wide sharing at any time. They then lose access to the resource, including in places where they have reused it in their own lesson notes.

Deleting a shared resource has the same effect. Octavia shows a warning before you confirm, and the item can be restored from Recently deleted for 30 days. See Managing library resources.

School Storage

The storage indicator normally shows your own usage. Studio admins can open the school storage summary to see usage across teachers. This is a storage view only; it does not allow an admin to manage another teacher's resources.
