How do I share a document I create?
Documents can be used to create notes, outlines, academic papers, etc. Whether your document is published in the catalog or left unpublished, it can still be shared/assigned directly to individuals of your choice. Sharing a document with a user will make it appear under their account.
To share your unpublished or published document:
-
- From the “My Library" page, click on the “Documents” tab.
- Click the options menu below your Document (three-dot icon) and select “Share.”
- From the “My Library" page, click on the “Documents” tab.
You can also share from the Document’s page by clicking “OPTIONS” and selecting “Share.”
There are three ways to share a Document:
-
- Share via Email Link:
-
-
- To email a link to the Document or copy it and share it with others, select “EMAIL LINK.”
- When “EMAIL LINK” is selected, it will pull up your emailing application (Outlook or other) and generate an email with a link to your Document. You can copy the generated link from the email and share it however you prefer, or you can email the link from your email application. When a recipient clicks on the link from any platform and registers on the LiveCarta portal, your Document will be automatically assigned to them.
- To email a link to the Document or copy it and share it with others, select “EMAIL LINK.”

- Add an individual student (this option will work best for students that already have an account with LiveCarta):
-
-
- Select “Add Student.”
- Enter the student’s email.
- The system will auto-populate the names if they already have a LiveCarta account. If the email entered is not associated with an existing account, it will not auto-populate, and you will need to enter a first and last name.
