School Sharing Settings

District Admins can control how schools share content and which permissions are available to Students and User Plus accounts.

Managing School Settings

1. Go to Administrator Tools > Manage Schools.
2. Open the More menu next to a school and click Edit School.
3. Under School Advanced Settings, adjust options including:
   • Default Uploads to Private
   • Allow Students/User Plus to Share Folders
   • Allow Students to Upload via OneDrive/Google Drive
   • Allow Student/User Plus Internal Share Link
   • Allow Student/User Plus to Search Media
   • Allow Student/User Plus Media Sharing
   • Allow Students/User Plus MediaSpot Sharing
   • Allow User Plus to Create Insights
   • Show All Users Page for Student/User Plus
   • YouTube is Not Blocked by Content Filter

Cross-School Sharing

By default, schools can only access content from within their own building. To allow content sharing across schools:

1. Go to Administrator Tools > Manage Schools.
2. Open the More menu next to a school and click Edit School Shares.
3. Set sharing for each school using either:
   • The buttons at the top — Set all to All Users, Set all to Teachers & Above, or Set all to None — to apply one setting across every school
   • Or the button next to each individual school to set that school's sharing to None, Teachers & Above, or All Users

Cross-school sharing affects:

• Search All Content – Users will be able to find shared media across selected schools
• Shared Insights – Insights shared internally will become discoverable by selected schools
• Search for Badges – Badge associations and tracking can reflect shared visibility
