2.7 Share Folders within the School

✔️ With Edumaps, you can easily make your folders available to all teachers and students at your school.
✔️ You can also share folders specifically with selected groups and users.
Notes
- “Publish” determines where a folder is visibly offered.
- “Protect” limits who is allowed to open a folder.
- “Share” grants specific access to classes and users.

You can publish a folder so that it is displayed to all members of your school on the page “My School”.
To do this, use the “Publish” category in the folder settings.
You can open the folder settings as follows:
1. Click the red edit icon in the top right corner of the folder.
2. Click on the folder title.
3. The folder settings will open in the sidebar.
4. Click on “Publish”.
5. Activate “My School” and save.
This results in the following:
1. The folder appears on the page “My School”.
2. All teachers and students have access to the page and therefore to your map.

You can set that only users who belong to your school (visible in the “List of all accounts”) are allowed to open your folder. Other users will not have access.
To do this, activate the option “Access only for registered users of my school” under “Protect” in the folder settings.
Option: “Access only for registered users of my school”

You can assign a password to your folder. This way, other users can only access the folder if they enter the correct password.
To do this, you will find a password input field under “Protect” in the folder settings.

This option is not intended for internal school sharing, but it is still a way of publishing.
Under “Publish”, you can make the map discoverable for the entire internet.
Select “Public Release” and save the folder to make it publicly available.
In addition, you must activate your public profile page so that the folder can be found.
⚠️ The folder (and all included maps) will be public and can be found on the internet by search engines.
⚠️ Do not publish any content for which you do not own the usage rights. You bear full responsibility.
