How can we help?

Enabling a sharing link in a discussion allows anyone with a link to the discussion to access it without needing to be invited.

About Link Sharing

• If a sharing link is enabled, logged in users who open the discussion link can contribute to the discussion with a specified participant role. Users who are not logged in will only have Viewer permissions until they sign in or register.
• You can change the role participants have at any time.
• Be wary of students sharing the discussion link outside of the classroom, as any users with the link may be able to contribute.
• If you want students to be able to participate without needing Kialo accounts, you should also enable the Instant Access feature.

How to Enable or Disable Link Sharing

Note:

To enable or disable Link Sharing, you must have Owner or Admin permissions.

Link Sharing is disabled by default.

To enable Link Sharing:

1. Click the Share button in the top-right of a discussion.
2. Check the Enable the sharing link box to generate a sharing link and QR code.
3. Optionally, change the role participants will join as. When first using Kialo, we recommend leaving this as Writer. You can adjust this at any time.
