Videos & Folders can be shared so that a group of students can work on and edit the same video. This document covers the steps to appropriately share folders for group editing. Keep in mind that you will only have access to the "Create" button when accessing a Panopto assignment folder provided by your instructor.
STEP 1
Create a new folder that can be shared with other users
(note: ‘My Folder’ cannot be shared. A new sub-folder under ‘My Folder’ needs to be
created for sharing. If you already have a created folder you intend to use, ignore this step)
Click “Create” and select “New Folder”
STEP 2
Name the folder and ensure the parent folder displays “My Folder”
→ Next to “Options” - Deselect: “Inherit permissions from the parent folder”
→ Click “Create Folder”
STEP 3
Hover over the video you want to share with other users for editing and select “Settings”
Under the Overview tab next to “Folder,” click “Edit”
From the drop-down options, select your created sub-folder underneath “My Folder” and then click “Save”
(Note: You have now moved the video to the folder that can be shared with other users for editing)
STEP 4
Click “Browse” on the left side of the screen
Select the folder you created where the video resides that you intend to share for editing
You should then see the folder name display on the top left of the page
STEP 5
Navigate to the top right of the page and click the settings wheel
Select “Share” from the menu options on the left
STEP 6
Under “People and Groups,” type in the OW email address of the user you want to share with and hit enter on the keyboard
Change the role in the drop-down from viewer to “Creator”
Then click “Send” when you are finished adding users to finalize sharing
(note: the users you share ‘creator’ access with to your folder will be able to fully edit videos in that folder)
