To share a board on Bitsboard, just press on the up arrow and then select the "Share on Bitsboard" option from the drop down menu.
The moment you "share" a board the board gets uploaded to the Bitsboard catalog. Sharing boards accomplishes three things.
1. It allows you to share boards with other Bitsboard users.
All the other user has to know is the name of your board so that when they search for it in the Bitsboard catalog they can download it with one click. Teachers love sharing boards with their students for example. All they have to do is create a beautiful board one time and as soon as they share it their students can download it from the catalog.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to give your board and username a unique name to make it easier to find. In the example below, we searched for the user “Ellen” and then selected the user profile for “Ellen Hanna” to see all of the boards and classes this user has shared.
2. It makes it easy to sync boards across devices
Mom's love creating custom boards to help their kids excel in school. However, often the kids are using a different iPad. By sharing a board, the mom can create content on one iPad and easily download the same board via the Bitsboard catalog on the other device.
3. Sharing creates an online backup
When you share a board, we instantly create a copy of it online. This means that if you ever lose your device or experience problems with the app, you don't have to worry about the custom boards you have created because you can always download them again from the Bitsboard catalog in just one click.
PRO TIP 1: If you want to share boards privately just use the "Email Board" option. This will send an email of the board to the student without sharing the board publicly on Bitsboard. The board is still being uploaded to Bitsboard, so that the recipient can download the board. However, the board won't be available on the Bitsboard catalog (i.e. it is private).
PRO TIP 2: You can also share multiple boards at once by putting them inside a Class and then share the class with your students. This way, each time you add a board to the class, your students will automatically receive it the next time they open Bitsboard.
