    Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Instructors in Canvas can make their resources available for others to use. This might include an assignment template, a pre-structured module, a quiz, or other course materials that could benefit colleagues. By sharing resources, instructors can collaborate, save time, and maintain consistency across courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sharing a Resource to Commons<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    To share a resource in Commons, first open the course that contains the resource you want to share and navigate to the relevant feature area. For example, if you are sharing a Page, go to the Pages area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    If your resource has been deployed to a module, you can access the Share to Commons button from here too. Just click the options drop-down menu next to the item.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Once you have located the resource, click the options<\/strong> icon (\u22ee) next to it and select “Share to Commons”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    This will take you to the Share Resource page, where you can specify important details about the resource before sharing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
