How to share your LeedsforLife workbook with someone other than your Academic Personal Tutor?

In rare circumstances  you may need to share your LeedsforLife Workbook with a different tutor (for example, if your usual Academic Personal Tutor is on annual leave). Before doing so please see the important information next.

IMPORTANT

Sharing using the method allows the person you are sharing with to see your full workbook, including your About You page and Meeting Notes area. If you do not want to share any one of these areas you can send them a screenshot of the sections you want them to have reference to instead of sharing your full workbook.

1. Log-in to PebblePad

  • Make sure University of Leeds account is selected . Click Login to PebblePad.
  • You will then be asked to enter your University of Leeds credentials (username@leeds.ac.uk and password) and sign-in.

7. You can add permissions you want to give the person you are sharing with. You can allow them to leave a comment, take a copy of the asset, view for a specified amount of time and collaborate on the asset.

We recommend selecting View for a specified amount of time and then Share will expire on.... to chose a date when the share expires for the person you are sharing with.

Some things to keep in mind

You should only manually share your APT Workbook using the steps above if your Academic Personal Tutor is unavailable and you need to share your workbook with a different tutor.

Unsharing a shared workbook

To unshare, click the (i) icon on the workbook. Click on the bin icon to the right of the person you have shared with. A pop up message appears, click Confirm.
