Collaboration and Sharing: Using Author Groups
- Claudia Cox
What is an Author Group?
Author groups allow a group of other users to view and edit a FLOWmulti exam paper or assignment that you have shared with them.
Creating an Author Group
From the Author Overview, click on Manage author groups.
Click +New author group.
Give your group a title and, ideally, a description and click Save.
On the next page, click +Co-authors. Search for a user by name or email address and tick the check box next to their details to add them to your list of selected authors. You can repeat this step as needed to add multiple users to the list before clicking Confirm to save your choices.
Your selected co-authors will now be listed as collaborators below your group information. You can continue to add or remove users from an Author group at any time.
Adding an Author Group to a FLOWmulti exam paper/ assignment
In the Authoring role, open the assignment you want to share with an author group.
On the assignment setup page, click the add/ remove/ edit button underneath the title of the assignment.
Select one or more Author groups to add to the assignment and click Save.
The button will update to reflect that one or more Author groups have access to view and edit the FLOWmulti assignment.
Author groups can continue to be added and removed as needed. If access needs to be removed for a specific individual, this should be managed via the Author group itself.
