Uploading and sharing multimedia resources in Engage not only makes learning more fun for your students; it also helps them to develop a deeper understanding of core concepts in the curriculum. 


We want to make it easy and quick for you to share as many key resources as you need to, which is why we’ve made the process of adding multiple resources really simple. 


This process does not apply to links, which still need to be added as resources individually.


To upload multiple files at a time in Engage:

  1. After logging in to Engage, Navigate to the Library section by clicking 'Library' at the top of your screen.
    Snapplify.com navigation menu with links to Home, Library, Textbooks, and Finance. 'Library' is highlighted with a green underline.
  2. From your dashboard on the left-hand side of your screen, select 'Resources'.
    Sidebar section labeled 'Resources' with a blue document icon featuring a plus sign, followed by the word 'Resources' in blue text.
  3. Next, scroll down the page until you see the button to ‘Add Resource.’
    Resource section with tabs 'Active' and 'Archived.' 'Active' is selected and underlined in green. Below is a light green outlined button labeled 'Add Resource.
  4. Select the ‘Upload’ button on the next page.
    Resource upload interface with a message stating 'You have uploaded 2 of the 100 resources allocated to you under the Engage Basic tier.' Two options are shown: On the left, 'Upload File(s)' with a green cloud icon and a purple Upload button. On the right, 'Link URL' with a text field for a URL and a blue Save button.
  5. Select the file(s) you want to upload from your computer.

    To select multiple files that are grouped together, click on the first file, then hold down the Shift key on your keyboard. While holding Shift, click on the last file to select all files between the two.
