Unsharing Documents from the EDU Library

Un-share documents that have been uploaded to a Classes' EDU Library. Unsharing a document only removes access to it from your users. It does not delete the original file, which can still be found in the uploader's own account Library.

  1. Open the personal web app. If you are already logged in, skip to Step 3. If you are already in the EDU Management settings, skip to Step 4

  2. Login to your user account by going to Account and selecting Login

  3. Once you're logged in, return to Account and select EDU Management

  4. Select Shared Library from the left side menu

  5. Select the Class you'd like to un-share the document from using the Class drop-down menu in the top right (eg Default Class in the image below)

  6. Select Options next to the document you'd like to un-share (3 dots)

  7. Select Unshare

  8. If you're sure you'd like to remove access to the document, select OK to finish

  9. Your Class can no longer access the document, but the original document file will be kept in the uploaded's account Library
