Share a lecture note
When you want to share a document straight into a group — your lecture notes, a summary, or a cheatsheet — start from the group itself: the share sheet opens with that group already picked, and tagging a course makes the note easy to find later. The same sheet is behind every share button in the app — see Quick-capture a resource for the share-from-anywhere version.
You share a lecture note into a group, so you need to be a member of at least one — see Create a group or Explore and join your school's groups.

Open your group from Groups — its Chat tab is already showing.
-
Click + Share next to the message bar and choose File, Link, or Note.
-
The Share sheet opens with the group already set as the audience — the big button already reads Share to your group. Add more groups with Add group or course if you want a wider audience.
-
Upload your document (or paste the link, or write the note) and give it a Title.
-
Open Add details and set the Course and Date so the note surfaces alongside the rest of that course's resources.

Click Share to your group. The note lands in the group's Resources tab and in the Library of every member, and a card announcing it appears in the channel you shared from — so the conversation that prompted the share carries it.
Starting a share from a group's Chat tab posts the announcement in that channel, whichever way you opened the share sheet — the + Share menu, or the Share cheat sheets or lecture notes prompt an empty channel offers you. If you share with several groups at once, only the channel you started from gets it that way — the other groups get the announcement in their main channel. Sharing from anywhere else in the app (the app-bar Share button, the Library, a course page) has no channel to start from, so it uses each group's main channel.
If you change the audience after opening the sheet, and the channel's own group is no longer included — or you save the note privately instead — the announcement follows the groups you ended up choosing, using their main channels.
-
Open a group channel, open the message actions, and tap Share resource. (You can also start from the Library tab — tap the action button and choose Share a resource, which takes you to your groups so you can pick the channel to share into.)
-
Tap Pick a document and choose the file to share.
-
Give your resource a Title and, optionally, a Description.

Tap Share to share the note with the channel's group.
The Course tag is what makes a note easy to find — a note tagged to a course shows up when classmates filter by that course and in its cross-cohort view.
