Work with a teacher, friend or fellow scholar
Use the same sharing workflow with a teacher, a friend, a study group or a fellow scholar. Choose a small piece of work and decide what kind of help you want.
Prepare a focused project
Open the project you want to discuss. For classwork, put the class or assignment in its title or subject. Add the relevant draft, sources and a note explaining the feedback you want.
Select what to share
Choose Share selected work. Check only the items the other person needs. This creates a shared copy; your local originals and unselected notes stay separate.
For an illustrated page, export a self-contained HTML or Word file if you want the recipient to see its layout. Shared text retains figure captions; select graphics and include attached files when those are needed too.
Invite an existing member
Create the shared copy, open it in Collaborations and find People with access. Enter the email associated with the other person’s Study Hall account. Choose a permission, then select Grant access.
- View: read the shared material.
- Comment: read it and leave feedback. A useful starting point for teacher review.
- Edit: revise shared text together.
No invitation email is sent automatically. Tell the person you have shared the project; they can find it in their Collaborations area.
Make the feedback useful
Ask a specific question: “Which step needs more evidence?” or “Where does this explanation become unclear?” Read comments alongside the shared draft. Save shared edits before leaving.
Bring the agreed work back
When ready, use the shared workspace’s option to copy shared texts into your local workspace. Review the changes first. Download shared attachments separately if needed; a shared copy does not automatically replace your local originals.
Review access when the work ends
The shared-project owner can remove a member’s access. This blocks future access through Study Hall; it cannot recall copies the person already downloaded.
