1. Login to your teacher account. In the top menu, choose Assignments → Library (or just click Assignments). 



 2. On the Assignment Library page, you can either Search or Browse Standards (details on how to do this are linked).  Click … → Move to Folder to copy the assessment for your district. To test out an assessment, you can click Preview for a flat view. From Preview, you can click Student View to view the full student experience. If it looks good, you can close the new tab and use ... --> Move to Folder. 





3. Move to Folder will open a popover where you can select School Folders, then click on the Folder you want to save the assignment to. If you do not see any School Folders, see the links at the top of the doc around folder setup and user management or contact schools@edcite.com. After you click on the folder name, you will see a confirmation. Click OK. 





4. Go to Assignments --> My Assignments. Select the folder you shared them to.   Click the Pencil icon next to the assignment(s) you want to lock as Common Assessments. This will open the screen below. Click the Gear --> Basic Settings --> Mark as Common Assessment. You should see confirmation that it is now locked. Save the assignment. It is now ready for you and colleagues to give together!
