A resource you own can be shared with other people to create an asset response, give comment on the design, make a duplicate copy, or collaborate as co-owner.

Share with people

You can share a resource you own with other PebblePad users for them to use to make an asset response. They will not be able to edit the resource.

To share: 

1. From the Resource Store, tick the resource to share.
2. From the I want to… menu, choose Share.
   
   
   
3. Choose With People.
   
   
   
   
4. Type the person’s name into the field.
5. If the name isn’t found, click Look for other PebblePad users.
   
   
   
6. Complete the First name, Last name and Email fields (as much as known), and click Search.
   
   
   
7. When found, click the contact name.
   
   
   
   
8. Click Share resource.

A workspace manager can make a resource available to a cohort of learners via a workspace resources page.

Apply share permissions

In addition to sharing the resource, ticking the following options will grant the recipient additional permissions.

Allow comments

When in need of feedback or validation of the resource itself, you can grant access to another PebblePad user to leave comments.  Resource comments are not seen in asset responses and are separate from asset comments.

Allow copying

Another PebblePad user can take a copy of the resource. This will be an independent version, not linked to the original resource or any of its asset responses.

Time-limited access

Restrict access to the person/people to a specified duration, automatically revoking the share when the time expires.

Allow collaboration

Another PebblePad user can become a co-owner of your resource, with equal edit permissions. Once the invitation has been accepted to co-own a resource, it cannot be revoked or deleted.

Share via link 

Allow any PebblePad user to access your resource to make their own asset response by providing them with a web link.

1. From the Resource Store, tick the resource to share.
2. From the I want to… menu, choose Share.
3. Click the Copy this URL button
4. Paste the link where it’s accessible to others (web page, email, etc)

A platform administrator can make a resource available to all users as a default PebblePad resource.
