How to Enable Folder Sharing Between Instructors

 

Folder sharing in ProProfs Quiz Maker allows multiple instructors to collaborate on quizzes by giving them access to a shared folder. Based on assigned permissions (view, edit), instructors can view, edit, and manage quizzes within that folder, making teamwork seamless and efficient.

 

When instructors log in, they can access shared folders in their folder options.

 

Benefits:

 

  • Streamlined Collaboration: Work together with multiple instructors on the same set of quizzes.

  • Controlled Access: Assign view or edit permissions to ensure proper access control.

  • Centralized Quiz Management: Manage quizzes, updates, and reports from a shared location.

 

Example:

A training manager creates a shared folder for a certification program and assigns edit access to subject-matter experts, allowing them to update questions and refine quizzes collaboratively before the final rollout.

 

Here's how the folder will appear in quiz maker:
