To adjust your settings, click the ‘Share’ button at the top right of your Buncee canvas. Under settings, enable comments by toggling 'Commentable' to 'On', or turn them off by toggling the button ‘Off’

Click on the 'Share' button on the upper right. Then click to toggle 'Copyable' to 'On'.

There are 2 options for you to share a Buncee to a Buncee Board! The first option describes how to add Buncees to your Buncee Board directly from the Board. The second option shares how to add Buncees to a Board right from a Buncee.

Option 2:  Share a Buncee to a Board directly using a Board Code

Every Buncee Board has a code located on the top right of it. A sample is shown in the image below.

Take the code for the board you'd like to share to. Then, open the Buncee you'd like to share to that Buncee Board. Click ‘Share’ and then click ‘Share to Boards’. Here, you'll be able to paste the code of the Board you'd like to share that Buncee to! 

 Once you have entered the code, click, ‘Share.’  

You can then click ‘View Buncee Board’, to view the Buncee Board, or ‘Share to another Board’ to share that Buncee to another Board. 

You can specify exactly who will receive & view your Buncee, whether they are students in your class, or other Buncee users!

NOTE:  The Buncees you share with them will appear in their 'Shared with Me' tab for easy access.

Step 1:

Click the 'Share' button on the top right of your Buncee. 

Step 2:

Under the 'Settings' tab, click the drop-down menu, and select 'Specific Buncee users'.

Sharing with Other Buncee Users

After selecting 'Other Buncee Users', type each recipient's Buncee username or email address, then click the '+' sign to add them to your list. After adding all of the recipients, click 'Share'.

Your students or recipients can now click on the 'Shared with Me' tab on their Buncee Dashboard to easily find the Buncee you have shared!

You can also use this feature to share Buncees with specific users so that they can easily find them in their ‘Shared with Me’ tab, but at the same time, keep the Buncee viewable by everyone else who you shared the Buncee link with.

Automatically generate a QR Code for your Buncee to make sharing easier than ever! Create interactive flyers, posters, handouts, and more, and include a QR code. Then, print them out, and scan the QR code with a smart device to be taken to the live Buncee!

Step 1:
Click on the ‘QR Code’ button on the toolbar on the right side of the creation canvas. A QR code will be automatically generated and added to your creation canvas.

Step 2:
Once added to your creation canvas, drag and drop the QR code to move it, and resize it using the red dots around the edge. 

Now, you can print out your Buncee, and have others scan the QR code with a smart device, and view your live Buncee! 

A few ideas for Sharing your Buncee by its QR Code:

1. Station Rotation Set-Up - Create a Buncee you want your students to view or interact with. Include a QR code on the first page, print out that page, and stick it to the table or desk for that station. When students come to that station, they can scan the code, and be taken to the Buncee!

2. Interactive artwork - Encourage students to create interactive artwork and include a QR code. Print them out, and hang them up around the classroom or in the hallways. Parents, teachers, and other students can then scan the codes to interact with the animated Buncees.

3. Student Book Reviews - Have students create a book review, and include just the QR code on the first page. Print out the first page, and post the QR code around the classroom/library, or even on book covers! Other students can scan the QR Code to see the full book review.

Create a Presentation for Training with colleagues - Create a Buncee with uploaded lesson plans and other documents/materials/flyers. Include the QR code on the first page, and show it on your projection screen. Participants can view the Buncee and included materials on the other pages - without needing to print any hardcopy!

Set permissions for any Buncee by clicking the ‘Share’ button in the top right of your Buncee, and clicking 'Settings.'

1. Choose Privacy Level: Click the drop down menu to choose who can view the Buncee.

• "Anyone" means anyone with the link to the Buncee, and the Buncee Team can view the Buncee. Your Buncee might even be selected for our “Staff Picks” page, where we share Buncees we really like!

• "Anyone with the link" means anyone can view the Buncee if they have the link to it.

• "Specific Buncee Users" means only specific Buncee users can view the Buncees you've shared.

• "Only Me" means only you are able to view the Buncee.  

2. Allow Comments: Toggle On to allow Buncee users to comment on your Buncee when you share with them, or toggle Off to disable commenting. 

3. Allow Copying: Toggle On to allow others to make their own copy of your Buncee when you share with them, or toggle Off to disable copying.

There are many ways to share your Buncee Board, whether you're:

• Sharing by Link
• Sharing by Email
• Sharing to Students as a Teacher
• Share to Teachers as a Student
• Sharing to Social Media
• Sharing via QR Code
• Or just Setting your Sharing Permissions

To Share in any way, simply click the 'Share' button at the top right-hand corner, while logged into PebbleGo Create and viewing a Buncee Board.

Classes can be organized according to your needs. Archiving is one of the ways you can organize the classes in your Classroom Dashboard. When you are done teaching a class, for instance, you might want to archive it so that it no longer shows in your main Classroom Dashboard, but is still available to view in your account.

Additionally, students can create accounts and add themselves to your class by entering your class code; but younger learners might prefer having their accounts set up for them by the teacher.
