You can use Google Drive to create a collaboration with a Google Document, Spreadsheet, or Presentation. You can select individual users, groups, or both as part of a collaboration.

Google Docs allows you to add up to 50 users per collaboration, and all users can view and edit a document at the same time. However, a Google file may be shared with up to 200 email addresses including viewers, commenters, and editors.

Notes:

• Google Drive collaborations are separate from Google Docs collaborations. If you cannot create a Google Drive collaboration, this feature has not been enabled for the course.
• Once you invite a user to a collaboration, the collaboration is available to the user in the user's Google Drive. Uninviting the user or deleting the collaboration does not remove access to the collaboration once a user has been added.

You can rename your files at any time using the Rename option in the file's settings menu. You can rename files in both user and group files.

Learn how to locate your user files and group files.

Notes:

• If you add a file to another area of Canvas (e.g. Groups or Assignments) and then rename the file in your user files, the file rename will not update in any other Canvas location and must be changed manually. Please ensure that your file names are correct in your user files before using them in other content areas.
• Files that have been submitted as part of an assignment cannot be renamed.

If you are able to join a group in your course, you can leave the group at any time. You cannot leave groups that are not self sign-up groups.

When a course is concluded, all associated groups will be shown as previous groups in your groups list.
