The Feed is an aggregation of all posts in a Studio. No content should be directly posted to the Feed, but should be posted into one of the categories above. You can use “@Student_Name” to see all posts by a specific student in the feed. Useful for reviewing a student's progress and daily assignments.
After projects are established, the Project tab is where default student deliverables are to be posted.
Resources are information, lectures, or tutorials for students that do not have a deliverable.
The name of the resource should be addended with the day of the studio it was taught in parenthesis. i.e.- Conceptual Precedents (2), Interviewing Skills (6)
Each afternoon coaches in each studio must:
Create a post in the Updates tab in which they write out exactly what is expected from the student that evening and where to post the information
“Notify All Participants” in the post.
Be sure to link to location where you expect students to post
Benefits
Clear understanding of pacing of studio after the fact
Clarity for students in where to look for homework
Clear deliverables for students for which they can be held accountable

When you publish a post, you have options for who will see the post. The default setting is usually School.
Project: Students explicitly listed as members of that Project.
Studio: Any student enrolled in your Studio.
School: Any student enrolled in the School.
Public: Visible to anyone who visits the link, no login required.
You can allow or disallow Comments on your posts by clicking the radio button. Any students enrolled in your Studio, along with Faculty and Staff, will be able to comment on a post. The default setting is Allow.
Checking this radio button sends an email alert to everyone in the Studio or everyone in the Project, depending on where the post is located.
At the bottom of the Create a Post window, you have three options:
Cancels your draft post. No work is saved or preserved.
Saves your post as a Draft. This Draft is only visible to you. If you add a collaborator to a draft post, they will be able to see it as well.
Posts that have been Saved as drafts appear only as a black title - no body of the post will be visible. Saved posts may also appear as Untitled Post in grey, if you did not title the post before Saving. Click the gear icon next to the title to edit this post or Publish.
Publishes your post to the site. Post is visible to the user group defined under the Privacy setting.
Refer to our Video Tutorials to learn more. Introduction to Creating Posts.
Introduction
Modifications to an existing Saved or Published post can be made by clicking the gear icon at the top right of the post. If no gear icon is visible, you do not have permissions to edit the post.
You can edit a Saved or Published post by clicking on the gear icon and selecting Edit Post.
Deletes selected post from the site. If copies of the post exist elsewhere on the platform, they will be preserved.
You can copy this post to any location on the site where you have permission to create content.
Click the Paste button (to the right of the Create a Post prompt bar) in the tab where you would like to place the copied post.
You can add Student collaborators to any post that you make. Adding another user as a collaborator means that they will be able to edit the post, and that the post will appear on their User Profile page.
Note that only one user can edit a post at a time. Coordinate with your collaborators to ensure that you are not attempting to edit a post at the same time.
If your post includes a presentation, a few more options are available.
Clicking Edit Presentation will take you directly to the slide editor.
Clicking Export Presentation will start a download for the selected presentation on your computer. Each slide will be exported into its own JPEG file with an encompassing folder for all the slides.
Clicking Delete Presentation will delete the currently selected presentation. This is a permanent action and should be used sparingly.
Clicking Toggle Header will change the formatting at the top of a presentation. With a Header on, information such as: Profile Picture, Name, Date and Privacy settings are shown at the top of a presentation. With a Header off, all information shown with the header on will be hidden. The only information shown will be the name of the post.
The Google Form for bug reporting asks you to provide screenshots or videos of the bug.

Introduction
With so many upload options and buttons, it often gets confusing on what to upload and where. This post will serve as an introduction to what file formats we support and where to upload. Images, Embeds and Files are all covered in this post.
Rhino, Illustrator, Unity or other files that need to be uploaded and shared within a studio should be attached. This allows other users to quickly download content you want to share.
