Learn how to share a Student Space with classmates or join one that’s been shared with you to study together.
You can easily share study materials and study tools with classmates by sharing a Student Space or joining one shared with you. Invite others by link or email to review notes, explore study tools, and add content in the same space, whether they’re signed in or joining as a guest. Chat history isn’t shared, so everyone can focus on the materials and study at their own pace.
