You can share assets that you have created in PebblePad with other users, publicly on the web, or you can share to a workspace for assessment (much like submitting to a submission point).
IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING COLLABORATION: Once 'Collaboration' permissions are granted to another user, they will have access to edit the Asset in question. There is no version control or 'undo' option to reverse any deletions or changes made by Collaborators. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that users first take a copy of their original Asset if they wish to allow collaboration with another user.
Removing 'Collaboration' access will not remove the Asset from the collaborator's Asset store - they will retain a copy.
Auto Share
If a resource in PebblePad is set to Auto share, it means that the moment you save, it will be Shared for Assessment with the relevant workspace and any subsequent changes that are made will modify the current submission once they're saved.
This process will continue until the due date/time passes - at which point the ATLAS workspace will take a snapshot of the current submission. You can still edit your work after the due date/time, but the changes will not be visible in the ATLAS workspace. If you have been granted an extension, then the extension deadline will override the original deadline.
NOTE: If your asset has been set to Auto Share - you do not need to go through the 'Share for Assessment' Process. If you do click, I want to... > Share, you will see a red X beside the workspace because your asset has already been shared automatically.
Refer to the information below for step-by-step guidance for sharing in PebblePad:
- In Pebble+, open the asset you’d like to submit
- On the top-right, click on I want to…
- Click Share – a pop-up window will appear with various sharing options
- Click With people
- Under Who are you sending this to? Start typing the name or email address of the person you wish to send the asset to – if you’ve shared something with them before, their name should pop-up in the drop-down below the text field.
A) If the name does not appear, click Look for other PebblePad users B) Type in the first name, last name or email address of the person you wish to share your asset with and click Search
C) The user will appear in the search results, click on the search result to share with the user - Under What can your recipients do with this? Check the boxes that correspond with the permissions you wish to grant the person you’re sharing your asset with
- Under Why are you sending this… you can add a message for the recipient
- Once you’re happy with the settings, click Share asset
If you then click on the ‘i’ icon beside the I want to… button and scroll down, you’ll see a section called Shares (#) – in place of the hashtag, will be the number of people the asset is currently shared with. Below that, there will be further information about when the asset was shared. Clicking on the blue text will bring up the pop-up with the share settings.

Users are able to share Resources via a URL. To do so, the Resource must be Shared with the web in order to generate a shareable URL. This is a useful feature if you don't want to rely on an ATLAS workspace in order to distribute your resource.
To share a resource via a URL, follow the instructions below:
- In your Resource Store select the Resource that you want to share – this can be a template or a workbook.
- Select I want to … > Share.
- In the pop up that appears you will see a new option titled Or with everyone who receives the following link
- Select Copy this URL
- You can now make this URL available to any users within your organisation so that they can access the resource. The resource cannot be used by PebblePad account holders from other organisations.
NOTE: Anyone accessing the resource who is not already logged into PebblePad will be taken to the login page first. The resource can only be accessed by PebblePad users as PebblePad needs to be able to save the resulting asset to a Pebble+ account.
- In Pebble+, open the asset you’d like to submit
- On the top-right, click on I want to…
- Click Share – a pop-up window will appear with various sharing options
- Click For Assessment
- Click on the relevant workspace in the list to select it – ensure that a green tick appears next to Can I share? below the workspace title.
A) A red X means that you are unable to submit – this can be for various reasons, including: the workspace is not yet open for submissions, the due date has passed or you have already submitted to that workspace. - Agree to the Terms of Usage by ticking the checkbox
- Click Share for assessment
- You will receive an email to your UTAS Student inbox confirming that your submission has been accepted
- If you go back to Pebble+ and click on the ‘i’ icon beside the I want to… button and scroll down, you’ll see a section called Shared for Assessment which will display the name of the workspace the asset has been shared to and when it was shared. If you’ve incorrectly submitted your asset, you can ask for it to be removed
A) If this option does not appear, it’s likely because the submission has already been marked. You will need to contact your Course Convenor to request removal
