Quickly share a link to something you're learning or invite your friends, family, coworkers, or other small group members to join a private study that you're leading. Send invite emails directly from the platform in moments.

The Share feature now includes QR codes to use in print or digital media, and you can also share invite links via AirDrop or a variety of apps.

On a course that is open for public registration, anyone can access the Share button just below the course title. This provides a shareable link that takes recipients to the About page where they can decide if they want to sign up for any public offerings of the course.

If you're the leader of a private group study (a Cohort), open your Cohort to the Path and the Share button for that Cohort can be found at the top of Path next to the Cohort name.

To quickly add people to a Cohort you're teaching, you can also go to the Home page > Teach tab, open the additional actions by tapping the three dots on the Cohort and then select "Share."

There are two main ways to share a Path.

Select the link icon to copy the shareable invite link to your clipboard. Paste it anywhere you like. Common uses for the shareable link include...

Download a unique QR code in .png format to use on printed materials like newsletters, handouts, a syllabus, posters...or a billboard or wherever you like! When someone scans the QR code with their phone camera, it will take them to the shareable invite URL on the mobile browser.

This feature works best on your device's default browser and will pull up the default share options for your particular device and browser combination, such as AirDrop, text, email, WhatsApp, social media platforms, or other apps installed on your device.

This allows learners to share a public course to social media, lets a teacher to AirDrop a private link to a course to her students, adds a shareable invite link to a new email using the default email app on your device...and more.

Please note that this feature is not currently supported on the Chrome or Firefox browsers. The "share via" options that you can access depend on your unique device and browser setup.

This determines the permissions provided by the share link.

You can type in an email address or paste in comma-separated email addresses to add people in bulk (easily add 50, 100, or 1,000 people from a list of emails).

When adding a list of emails, the email addresses will need to be separated by commas. Paste in your comma-separated list of emails, then be sure to select all using the "Select" button. Click the "Add" button to send.

If you've previously taught a private study group or have access to existing members due to having specially-assigned permissions, you may be able to use Look-up to quickly add people to a new Cohort. Start typing a name to look up an existing member, Cohort, or Mentor Group, or choose from the drop down menu.

Note that if you choose a group of people under Add (a Cohort, a Mentor Group), you'll need to select people before you can continue. You can hit "select all" or manually select just a subset of people.

Once you've added someone or selected a group of people, you'll be able to adjust the role that you're giving them in the Cohort. You can select a role from the "Update all" menu or choose a role from the drop down menu to the right of each person's name individually.

Here are the available roles:

If you'd like to add a personal note or provide more context for the people receiving the assignment or invite, you can optionally write a message. It will be included in their email or in-app notification.

If you invited anyone via a personal email invite, you can track those sent email invites under the Track tab. View the delivery status, revoke the link, resend the link, or copy the link (to send another way). After a single use, these invite links will be expired.

Note that the shareable links from the Link tab cannot be tracked.

If no payment is required and the person already has a login, they will be enrolled instantly.

Anyone who needs to create an account or needs to pay for a course will receive a personal invite link by email. They will need to accept the invite link in their email to create their account and/or pay for the course if payment is required.
