Groups

Information about your Groups — those you've created and those you've been invited to — can be found on the right hand side of your My Library page.

Groups work like email distribution lists, helping you efficiently share documents with students, colleagues, friends, family members, … anyone.

To create a Group, click on the "Create Group" button under the My Groups header:

Clicking on a group name takes you to a Group page:




where you can see its members, pending members (people invited who have't activated their account yet), and documents. You can have as many Groups as you like.

Using Groups lets you:

• Compile a list of people to invite just once and then reuse it over and over. You invite a Group (if you're a member of that Group) to a document by typing in its name, the same way you'd Invite) a person.
• Give new people added to the Group immediate access to all the documents previously shared with that Group, eliminating the need to compile past documents. Note: the Group's administrator can remove obsolete or sensitive documents from Group access at any time.

A Group's administrator invites people to the Group by clicking the green “invite” icon near the top left of the Group page. The administrator can also:

• email a group member by clicking the envelope icon
• remove a person from the group (via the gray minus sign icon)
• “promote” a group member to be a co-administrator
• delete the Group.
