Resources

Share documents with Families and Teachers through your Resources Library.

Written by Educa

🔒 Site Admins only – Only users with site admin access can create and edit Resources. If you don't see these options, ask someone with site admin access at your centre to help.

What you can do with Resources

  • Create or upload Resources to store and share important documents, forms, and information with families and teachers in one central location.

  • Organise Resources into folders for easy navigation.

  • Choose who can see each Resource:

    • Shared with families and teachers (default) – Resources are visible to everyone unless you restrict them.

    • Teacher only – tick this option to make a Resource visible only to your teaching team.

Accessing Resources

You access Resources through the main navigation: Centre > Resources.

Organising with Folders

Resources are organised using folders at the top of the page, with individual Resources listed below. Each Resources can be assigned into multiple folders at once.

Creating Folders

You can create folders to organise your Resources by clicking Add Folder. Add a name and description and click Save.

💡 Tip: You can create folders before adding Resources to plan your organisation structure, or create them later as you add content. Existing Resources can be edited to add them to folders later if needed.

Creating a New Resource

  • Click Add Resource.

  • Add a clear Title.

  • Add a Description.

  • Click Add Media to upload photos and Attach File to upload documents.

  • Choose one or more Folders to organise the Resource (optional).

  • Tick Only Allow Teachers to View if you don't want to restrict this Resource to your teaching team only.

  • Click Publish to finish.

Share a Resource With Another Site

Site Admins can share a published Resource with other Educa sites where they also have site admin access.

To share a Resource:

  1. Select the Resource title to open it.

  2. Select Share.

  3. Select the site or sites you want to share the Resource with.

  4. Confirm the share.

The shared Resource is a separate copy and can be edited independently on the receiving site.

By default, it keeps the same visibility setting as the original Resource, either Teacher only or shared with families and teachers. You can edit the visibility on the receiving site if needed.

💡 Note: Resources do not send automatic notifications when published or updated. If you want to notify families or teachers about a new or updated Resource, create a Message Board Post or Teacher Message with a link to the Resource.
