Share your assistant with your class
Building an assistant does not put it in front of your students. They only see an assistant once you place it in a Space they belong to. Sharing, in Sokra, means moving the assistant into the Space you set up for that class. Until you do, it stays private to you.
Before you start
You need a finished assistant and a Space for the class that will use it. If you have not set up a Space and added your students yet, do that first. It also helps to have decided which class this assistant is for, since an assistant lives in one Space at a time.
Build your class's access to the assistant
Sharing is two moves: make sure your latest work is published, then move the assistant into the right Space. Work through them in order.
1. Publish your latest changes
Open the assistant and publish any changes you have made. While you have unpublished edits, the Share button stays locked and shows a lock icon, so your students never land on a half-finished assistant. Once your work is published, Share unlocks.
2. Open the Share dialog
Click Share. A dialog opens titled Share Assistant, with the reminder that to use this assistant with others you move it to a Space.
3. Choose the Space for your class
Open the Space selector. It lists the Spaces you can use, plus Private assistant if you want to keep it to yourself for now. Pick the Space that belongs to the class you want to reach. Each Space carries its own emoji and name, so it is easy to spot the right one.
4. Move the assistant to the Space
Select the Space and click Move to Space. The assistant now lives in that Space, and the students who belong to it see it the next time they open Sokra. An assistant sits in one Space at a time, so moving it is how you hand it to a class.
5. Check that your class can see it
Open the Space yourself, or ask a student, to confirm the assistant appears for the class. Learners only see assistants prepared in their own Space, so this is the moment to catch a wrong-Space mistake before the lesson.
Data & safety
Sharing decides who can reach the assistant, so move it into a Space only when it is ready for students. An assistant placed in a Space is visible to every student in that Space. Student conversations stay inside your workspace. You stay in control: you can move the assistant or take it back out of the Space whenever you like.
Tips
- Name your Spaces the way you name your classes, so the right one is obvious in the Share dialog when you are in a hurry.
- Publish, then share. Getting into the habit of publishing first means the Share button is ready when you are and your class never sees a draft.
- Keep one assistant per activity rather than reusing a single one everywhere. It makes sharing the right thing with the right class much simpler.
Troubleshooting
The Share button is locked. You have unpublished changes. Publish them first and the button unlocks. The lock is there so students never reach a half-finished assistant.
My students cannot see the assistant. Check that it is in the right Space, that those students belong to that Space, and that you have published it. Learners only see what is prepared in their own Space.
I put the assistant in the wrong Space. Open Share again and use Remove from Space, then move it into the correct one. An assistant lives in a single Space at a time.
