Quick-capture a resource
Getting something into Latte takes seconds — a lecture slide deck, a photo of the whiteboard, a useful link, or a quick thought. On the web that's the Share sheet; on mobile it's the Capture button. Either way, you always see exactly who will get it before anything is shared.
To share with classmates you need to be in at least one group — see Create a group or Explore and join your school's groups. No groups yet? You can still capture and keep it private.

- 📱 Mobile
-
Click the Share… button in the top bar — it's there on every page. (The Library's Share something button and a group's + Share menu open the same sheet; from a group, that group is already selected as the audience.)
-
The Share sheet opens with the audience first. Next to To, use Add group or course to pick the groups that should see it. Under the pickers, the sheet counts who that reaches — Visible to N members.
The Share sheet opened from the app bar's Share button: the To audience row with Add group or course, the File / Link / Note content picker with Note selected and a note typed in, the Title field, the collapsed Add details section, and the footer with Save privately instead next to the still-disabled Share button -
Pick what you're sharing: File (drop it or click to browse), Link (paste a URL), or Note (write it right there).
-
Give it a Title — a name others will recognize.
-
Optionally open Add details to set a Course, a Date, and a Description — course and date help classmates find it later.
-
When you've selected a class group, an Also visible to future cohorts toggle appears. It's off by default — turn it on if next year's students should find your resource too.
-
Click the big button — it names its audience, Share to your group (or Share to N groups). Until you've picked an audience it stays disabled: nothing is shared until you press the button, and sharing with nobody is impossible. To keep the capture to yourself, use Save privately instead. Latte confirms with Shared. or Saved privately.
The desktop app has the same Share button and sheet.
-
Tap the Capture button — the floating + above the tab bar — to fan out the capture options. It's there on Today, Calendar, Groups, and Library, so capture is always one tap from where you start. It steps out of the way once you go into something: open a conversation, a course, or an event and the + disappears until you come back out. It also stays off the Profile tab.

Choose a capture type: Take a photo, Pick a picture, Pick a PDF, Voice note, Share a link, or Quick text. A Voice note starts recording immediately — tap Stop & continue when you're done.
-
On the Share with screen, give your resource a Title and an optional Description.
-
Choose where it goes: tap the groups to share it with, or turn on Keep private (Only visible to you.). A class that's on your calendar right now is pre-selected, marked Suggested from your current class.

If you picked a class group, leave Visible across cohorts on so next year's students of that course can find it.
-
Tap Share (or Save privately). You'll see Shared! and the resource syncs to your groups instantly.
Sharing from a group's own page? The sheet opens with that group already selected as the audience, so the big button already reads Share to that group — check the title and press it.
