Sharing Lists

You can share your Lists with with your students or with other teachers! Lists have a 'Visibility' setting which can be set when being created or when editing the details of a list.

The private setting allows you to share your list with ONLY your students using your student code. Anyone trying to access the list from a different account will get a 404 error page.

The shareable setting allows anyone with an account to view the list via a link. This includes both other teachers with their account and any student code, not just yours.

Bulk Actions for Lists

You can take bulk actions for your MyLists. This includes Deleting, Marking as Private or Public, and Archiving the lists.

To use the bulk actions, you can select the lists you wish to edit using the check boxes on the left side as shown here:

Once you have selected the lists you wish to edit, you can click the Edit dropdown in the top right to take one of the following actions:

- Archive: This moves the list to the archive view

-Delete: This will permanently delete the selected lists.

- Mark as Private: Set the Privacy setting on all the selected lists as Private to me and My Students

- Mark as Public: Sets the privacy setting to Shareable to anyone with an active teacher license 

 

Archiving MyLists

If your MyList section is starting to feel cluttered, but you don't want to delete any lists, you can now add lists to an archived view. Archived lists do not appear in the main view of your lists, and can only be viewed by selecting Archived lists in the View dropdown here:

 

To Archive a list, you can use the Bulk actions (as described above). You can also archive a list by editing the Visibility setting when editing an individual List.
