You can choose to share assets from your Asset Store with people to give them access to view, comment or edit your work. Until shared, it will remain private.

What is sharing with people?

All the assets you create or upload into your Asset Store in Pebble+ are private. Nobody else can access to view, comment or edit any of your work unless you choose to share.

The individual asset is shared, not access to your wider PebblePad account.

All recipients must have a PebblePad account:

• Learners and Assessors have full PebblePad accounts.
• External non-staff members have a restricted PebblePad account.

When sharing an asset, you decide the permissions the recipient receives. Their account type determines the options:

For assessment, see share with external assessor.
