Browse and upvote shared notes

Everything shared with your groups collects in one place, the shared resources list. Filter it down to what you need, open a resource to read or download it, and mark the ones that helped so the best ones rise to the top.

  1. Open Resources from the navigation, then click Shared resources in the left panel.

  2. Narrow the list to what matters right now:

    • Switch scope between All, Shared by me, and Private.
    • Sort — Recent or Most useful.
    • Filter by Type, by course, by group, or by date.

      "id": "web.notes-and-resources.browse-and-upvote-shared-notes.dashboard",
      "platform": "web",
      "route": "/resources/shared/notes",
      "actions": [
        {
          "waitFor": {
            "testId": "shared-notes-dashboard"
          }

      "clip": {
        "testId": "shared-notes-dashboard",
        "pad": 0
      }
    }
  3. Click a resource to open it. A PDF, image, or voice note previews inline with a Download button; a link opens in a new tab; a text note shows its body.

  4. If it helped, click the thumb to Mark useful. The count next to it shows how many students found it useful — click again to Unmark.

tip

Sorting by Most useful on the web app surfaces the resources your classmates found most helpful first — a good way to find the best summary for a course before an exam.
