When sharing a resource to Commons, you will need to choose who you want to share your resource with. There are five sharing options available: share to your entire account, share within groups, share within consortiums, share with the public (all Canvas Commons users), or you can set a resource only visible to yourself (private). Select one or more options (maximum of 10) for sharing your resource(s).

Notes:

• To enable Commons in your Canvas instance, please contact your Customer Success Manager.
• Commons is available in all Free for Teacher (FFT) accounts. Free for Teacher users are limited to finding, importing, and sharing public resources.
• Only course instructors can add a course or course content to Commons.
• Admins can add a course or course content to Commons if they act as an instructor of the course.
• Standard Canvas file storage limits apply, however, anything shared publicly will not count against your quota.
• Depending on the account settings set by your Canvas admin, you may be unable to view and/or share public content. Authors of publicly shared resources will always be able to view their resource.
• When updating resources, resources that are no longer in a user's scope will not appear on the user's Updates page. For example, changing the share option from your account to within specific groups.
• Resources shared through Commons retain the published/unpublished status of the items when they were originally shared. If you share a published resource, when others import that resource, it will be published in their courses.
