Your documents library

Documents is your library of files and links for students. You upload a file once, then share it with any class, a few students, an activity or a single assignment. Documents is in beta: it carries a Beta label in the menu and on the page while we watch how teachers use it.

What students can open on the page

Folders and tags

A folder groups documents, for example Unit 3 or Exam practice. Type a folder name in the Folder field of a document, or select several documents in the list and click Move. Leave the folder empty to take a document out of its folder.

Tags are short labels separated by commas, such as grammar, B1. A document can have several tags. Click a folder or a tag on a document to show everything with the same folder or tag.

Find a document

• Search by name, description or tag. Press / anywhere on the page to jump to the search box.
• Filter by Type, Folders, Tags and Status (Shared, Not shared yet, or Shared, not opened yet).
• Sort by Newest first, Oldest first, Name A–Z or Largest first.
• Tick documents (or Select all) to Share, Move or Delete several at once.

Storage

The Storage used bar at the top of the page shows how much of your plan’s storage you are using. Files you uploaded, earlier versions of replaced files and pictures saved from links all count. Each plan also has a largest size for a single file; if a file is too big, LearnWorkly tells you the limit for your plan before uploading.

When you are close to the limit, a Get more space link takes you to the plans.
