Share notes, quizzes and Canvas boards

Last updated · 2 min read

Short answer

Everything in Duetoday is private until you share it. To share a note, open it and choose Share, then the copy button to copy its link; anyone with the link can view it. Quizzes have Share Quiz with a link and QR code, Canvas boards have Share to Explore, and Embed AI Tutor puts a board's tutor on any website.

Before you start

  • Plan needed: the 7-day free trial or a subscription.
  • Think before you share. Anyone with a public link can view it. Don’t share personal information or other people’s content without permission.

Steps: share a note

  1. Open the note on a laptop or desktop.
  2. Choose Share at the top. You’ll see “Note is now public. Anyone with the link can view it.”
  3. Choose the copy button next to Share (“Copy share link”). The link is copied.
  4. Send the link in a message or email.
  5. To stop sharing, choose Share again. You’ll see “Note is now private”.

Steps: share a quiz

  1. Open the quiz’s Share Quiz option.
  2. If asked, publish the quiz first (“Publish your quiz to generate shareable links and QR codes”).
  3. Choose Copy Link, or show the QR Code so people can scan it. Choose Download PNG to save the QR code.

Steps: share a Canvas board

  1. Open the board and its menu.
  2. Choose Share to Explore. Add a Subject, a Description and Tags, then share. You’ll see “Canvas shared! Link copied.”
  3. The board appears in Explore, and the copied link opens a public, view-only version.

Steps: embed an AI tutor on a website

  1. On a Canvas board, open the menu and choose Embed AI Tutor.
  2. Set the Title, Accent Color, Launcher Icon (square image, max 2MB), Welcome Message and Position.
  3. Copy the Widget Script and paste it into your website’s HTML. Visitors can chat with a tutor that knows your board’s materials.

Tips

  • Export instead of sharing when you only need to send a copy: use Export as PDF on a note, or Export PDF on a Galileo session.
  • Teachers can share live quizzes with a join code. See live quizzes.

If something goes wrong

  • The copy button doesn’t appear. The note is still private. Choose Share first.
  • “Failed to share”. Reload the page and try again.
  • Someone sees “not found”. You may have made the item private again, or deleted it.

Frequently asked questions

Can people edit a note I share?

No. Shared links are view-only. People with the link can read the note but not change it.

How do I stop sharing?

Open the note and choose Share again. You'll see 'Note is now private' and the old link stops working.

Do the people I share with need an account?

No. Anyone with the link can view a shared note, quiz or public Canvas board in their browser.

Can I share a Galileo chat?

Not at the moment. Export the session as PDF or DOCX and send the file instead.
