How to send a file or photo in Messages

Both tutors and students can share files directly in a conversation - for example worksheets, past papers, PDFs, photos or notes. Here's how.

  1. Go to your Dashboard.
  2. Open the Messages tab.
  3. Select the conversation you want to send a file to.
  4. Click the paperclip button - it's the first button on the left of the message box, next to where you type.
  5. Choose the file or photo from your device. A small preview appears above the message box so you can check it's the right one.
  6. Add a note if you like, then click the green Send button on the right.
