TIP 4: Publish & share your site.
- You've done so much work on your site! But guess what? Nobody will see the changes you've made until you Publish your site and adjust your Sharing Options. And, by the way, this is true for all future changes you make too. Say it with us folks, "If you make an edit, be sure to Publish."
- When you publish your site the first time, you'll be prompted to enter a "Web address" for your site. Keep it as short as possible. The address you enter will comprise the suffix of your site's URL (for example: Eng 1A Syllabus)
- Preview, publish, and check your sharing options.
- Tip! Select "Anyone on the web" and "Can view" in the sharing options to ensure your students will have access to your syllabus.
